It explains why it felt like there needed to be a touch more history, but with most of the mystery already known by the TV audience, this series must not have been enough.

Previous comments on Pintrest for the series: Interesting supplement to the series. The weird blue inking was hard to get used to though. Would not make sense without watching the anime. And Shikkoku no Hana: My favorite of the two mangas.
It's a nice post-script to the first series and fills in a number of blanks. Also Kirihara was just fun. Sep 01, Armando rated it liked it. After reading this Manga, I got to the conclusion that this manga will only appeal to those familiar with the anime its based on.
