Side notes: I admit that if you only look at the cover the manga might not be very appealing for all readers. Sadly it also gives you a bit wrong kind of image of the manga itself and its characters. For a good reason the main character made me think Anne of the Green Gables (just a bit) but after reading few chapters I'm more thinking about Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot 'cause it's pretty much situated in his world of timeline and the characteristic "asian" looks are in minimum. Art is good and clean. The plot... well it's better than average (it's not too hard to see where it's heading after few chapters).^-^
