Wow, harsh. Oh well, I’ve got my copy already (along with the rest of Seven Seas Light Novel launch titles), so I guess I’ll be reading it anyway.

@Runningkid: Seven Seas is notoriously fickle when it comes to release dates: some places have it early, some never have it at all.

@Avisch: I got it through the contest they ran at the beginning of the month. It’s not like I’m good enough to warrant free stuff on my own yet.

I watched the first episode of the anime a long time ago and was completely left blank. The series doesn’t have any depth as you say.

And this is alittle odd. Because I love Shigofumi which is similar in nature (death, central character is part of the afterlife).

However it is cool that Seven Seas sent you a book.

This is meant to be out on the 31st? Somehow i managed to grab hold of a copy through amazon last week.

Haven’t really had time to take a proper look yet, read the first story and admittedly it wasn’t the most original but I think perhaps it deserves a little more credit than you gave it.

But nevertheless, a good review with good justification. I shall try finishing it tonight and doing a review of my own soon.
