While some* may have received my earlier review as extraordinarily negative, I felt that it was pretty even handed and spot on. Since then I have been watching the series, minus a few episode here and there, weekly. I haven’t been disappointed.
The series has progressed pretty much as I had expected. Sure the story may just be sticking to its basic shonen premise but it does so well. The characters are likable and varied enough to avoid cluttering the stage. The series focuses mainly on Rin but doesn’t hesitate to focus on another, such as the heavily featured Shiemi. Shiemi, unlike some of the others, has received more back story and development. At first I thought I was going to dislike her character but she has developed past my initial fears. Meanwhile other classmates and teachers have thus far received enough time to either affirm their existence or promote their mysteriousness.
