Side notes: This series gets pretty good score both on MAL and Baka as well as it's sequel so I'm really looking for the future translations.^-^b And just like the scanlator group's spokesperson said it's a wonder how this series never got any attention from the western translators when it was published. There is a total of 18 volumes in the first series and 15 volumes on the second while this is the first time that it's been translated into English. I myself like it so keeping it on my reading list.^-¨
Oh and the art is on a good level though it's a bit old fashioned but that's not bad. The story is promising so that's even more reason to wait how it goes on.
