Reviews
Love it
5By GregopolisI love the anime. The light novel is even better in the detail it gives!This is the Light Novel, didn’t you know?
5By Alienated IntelligenceSorry, but there IS a “Read Sample” button right under the Buy Book Pricetag. (in reference to the previous comment.) **I am actually grateful that it IS the LN as I prefer reading actual words over staring at pictures, but maybe that’s just me. I must say that I am here because I finished watching the anime, and remember the number of people who raved about how much better the LN was over the anime. Although I have my reasons for acknowledging the anime despite it’s strengths and weaknesses, the original source material seems to be more from the LN over the manga anyways. Also, having two different versions of a story only makes it more interesting.Not what I thought it was
1By HydramanmanI’ve been watching the show, and wanted to read the manga. Wasted $10 on the light novel which I did not know I was buying.
