Another re-post! Hurhur! But it's a kick ass manga (Fosrs. That's a huge understatement. Words cannot express.) The art is incredible and the story is award winningly amazing. It's based off a famous novel. It's a pretty long and epic story though so~ It's best for those who want to get lost in an amazing tale. Well~ Enjoy!
