...but gives you heartburn.
This story is a twist of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter with action, sci-fi and conspiracy elements. Sounds great right? And an already epic tale with modern manga badassery, what could go wrong?
A lot. The story takes a very cliche shounen approach to everything. The main character is a talentless spoiled princess who isn't allowed to kill. The princess is given the symbol and weapon of absolute power but (naturally) can't use it properly. And the older the character, the more badass and mentor-like they are to the princess, while the younger the character, the less badass and more "moral support" they are to the princess.

This is a new work from the author of Tista, which although many do not know but is quite short but has a deep and wonderful storytelling.
I have only read chapter 1 so far (an awesome 66 page intro), but the emotion run deep already on the get go. I even tear'ed up a little toward the end. I don't have a rating for the story yet but initial impression is quite captivating.
