Side notes: I'm a bit surprised that this series is marked with Axed or rushed ending -tag. It never gives a good feeling about the manga. Still many readers do like it and give credit for the work so that makes it even more peculiar thing to see that the manga was cut short. That made me look for other works by the same author but there was only one other series created by her according to baka. So it's almost impossible to see what has happened for the manga so that it was needed to have a rushed ending.>.< The art is pretty good, though the backgrounds and "sidekicks" are usually left pretty plain and the focus is on the MC. Still I like it and the first chapter was quite fun too.^-^b
