From Storm in Heaven:
At the beginning of the XX century, the relationship between England and Japan was strained. England wanted to extend its influence over Japan, and Japan wasn't willing to let any other culture pass its borders. Koto, though, a Japanese girl, didn't care if the people she meets have almond shaped eyes or not, or if they wear a kimono or a western dress. Actually, she is fascinated by this foreign way of life that brings so many innovations into Japan.

Koto, though, a Japanese girl, didn't care if the people she meets have almond shaped eyes or not, or if they wear a kimono or a western dress. Actually, she is fascinated by this foreign way of life that brings so many innovations into Japan. More than anything else, it's the clothing that seems to grab her attention, as she wants to become a tailor and create dresses for women of every culture.
Unfortunately though, she's a woman, so she knows her dream will end as soon as she gets married. She will have to start acting like a noble and a respectable woman would. In fact, she is betrothed to Masaomi Kidoin, the second born of one of the most important and oldest families of Japan. The day she's told she will marry Masaomi, Koto attends a ball at the British Embassy and meets Sagitto, a half English and half Indian spy that captures her imagination and heart. But can their love story have a happy ending when the British and the Japanese are tracking down Sagitto because they want him dead, and Koto is forced to live a life that doesn't fit her?

For anyone who doesn't already know the historical background, the politics may be a bit confusing. Still, a dramatic and sweet story with a brave heroine who won't give up her dream. I feel as if the characters aren't developed enough by the ending, which then feels like a cop-out. Still, it is a sweet shoujo romance that has no major flaws to it.

as usual, graphics drawn by Chiho Saito are beautifully drawn, even with the comical anecdotes. i like the idea of the story... the storyline was as good as everyone mentioned it was
HOWEVER, i feel somewhat dissatisfied with the way the plot developed.. like everything's just going too fast and there wasn't any clear background to anything... like a 100m dash, next thing you know, you're already at the end.
it would've turned out a lot better if there was more development of characters, their backgrounds and expansion of the plot... i mean, it's already such a good story... just too bad she didnt spend more time on it i suppose...
but seriously, this is a good read... it's good.. but could've been better... still deserves a 10

just finished this manga, its so touching, and as already mentioned, it really makes you feel sorry for the characters, one in particular near the end. There's a sequel to this as well ^^

After finishing Pansy, I had to go find a manga of which had a similar artwork style.
Waltz, here I am! At first, I grabbed the wrong series (>__>) [aka this one], of which I read a different story's summary... but nonetheless, after finishing the first chapter, I wanted nothing to do with the other story!
I am truly amazed at the concept. YAY FOR DIVERSITY! And I really feel sympathy for the characters. This is a really recommended series.
