I really liked the first few chapters. While VERY typical, I found the quirky art and charming characters a lot of fun, and would eagerly look forward to each upcoming chapter.
As the story progressed though, that all kind of fell apart. The author kept introducing more and more secondary characters who kept taking up a lot more of the spotlight from the two leads. This would be fine in a multi-volume series, but when working with only one volume, I find it best to be a lot more focused.
Here we kept getting more and more characters all with various back stories and connections that we were never really made clear on. For me, I just found it degraded into a sloppy and confusing mess.
By the end, I still wasn't too clear as to how the characters related to one another, and I thought the main story elements that had been so much in the forefront in the beginning chapters had been lost. I didn't mind the end (the last page of the actual story) per say, but it just felt like all it did was reset itself back to the beginning of the story. I wouldn't have minded it so much if there had been some sort of movement between the leads, and this was just affirming their connection as it were, but it wasn't. At the end, I didn't feel like there had been any progress at all, and the characters at the end were exactly the same as they were in the beginning.
Not really good storytelling in my book.
I'm giving it a 5 for the artwork (unique, but I liked it), and the first couple of chapters, which I thought were very good. Beyond that though, I don't know that I'd really recommend this to anyone without letting them know full well what they're getting into. It's not horrible, but it just could have been so much better.
