You all are right. If I wanted to see Reiji-kun turn into an unredeemable bastard, then the manga is the way to go. That Reiji will leave you just a little sick to your stomach while anime Reiji’s psychotic episode just odd, came somewhere from left field and was anticlimatic. All in all, it took balls to show this series in any form, and I appreciate balls over a lot of other things, 8 outta 10.

I hate to think what those watching this would gather from just watching the anime exclusively, though, so as far as I’m concerned the manga is almost mandatory reading. I suppose you could call it a good ending, as far as a limited anime adaptation goes, but the manga does a better job of showing the slippery slope that Reiji falls into along the way.

I’ve said too much already, so let me know if you’re looking for the manga as I have it all uploaded somewhere if you’re interested. You know where to find me. :O

The anime series was a far cry from the awesomeness that is the manga, but I suppose that is to be expected, some of the stuff in the manga touches on some issues that might be a little too extreme for a TV adaptation.

Kind of a messed up ending for the anime though, if you ask me, one mintue Reiji is all psychotic and the next is perfectly stable? How does that work =\

Anyways, welcome back kouhai, and happy new year!

At least it doesn’t screw up the source material… and it leaves the possibility open for a sequel with Kuro x Shirai.

And Reiji is a lolipaedofiend. >_>
