Side notes: Before I read the synopsis I didn't know that this is a manga version of a Patricia A. McKillip's work. I know the author from her sci-fi/ fantasy works but it's been some time since I've picked any books from her to read. And I don't usually go for the mangas that have been made at first in English and then formatted into a manga. Still as for the famous author (I think most of the fantasy genre readers know her or should know her if not.) it'd be nice to see how the manga goes on but probably the age makes it hard to get as there is only one chapter translated as I know now.
