It seems this series only focuses on Aoi so much that she had become a self insert! This is so terrible that it made me want to make a better version of it that would make much sence to the original 'plot'. I wish it wasn't limited to 26 episodes due to the bland storytelling and all the spirits just moaning about Aoi's grandad throughout almost every episode because I was promised a story that is set on Aoi cooking for her freedom so she can avoid marrying Odanna. Apparently it's as if the people who worked on this anime and possibly the mangaka forgot the sole reason why Aoi was in Kakuriyo in the first place. The character designs, the voice actors/actresses, the storytelling and presentation is what I am going to This show had a lot of potential since the beginning but I realized it was doomed from the start anyways. ![]() ![]() ' Nalini Singh is a QUEEN of paranormal/urban fantasy romance.
