Tokyo Crazy Paradise

I read all of it already (but no, I didn't start when the poll was finished but when the manga was being suggested for the first time). This post won't contain spoilers (and thus not much at all).

It was a good story basically, if a bit erratic at times. Also, it felt just a tad long, with some elements being stretched in my opinion. I'm not generally speaking a fan of triangles but somehow it worked really well in this series because it kind of wasn't arranged on the spot but was for historical / cultural reasons. And what shoujo manga could even exist without one or two, anyway...

One irregularity I could mention without compromising anything was the fact how this was located in the future yet you didn't really see anything futuristic unless it served some purpose in the plot. So, it was more like today but when the author needed some gizmo or solution for the plot it suddenly was there. I guess such a thing is beyond the main point of a romance but it was somewhat bothersome especially when it kept escalating towards the end (which is one of the reasons why I felt it could have been more effiecient shorter).

As far as I could see the story left one important thing pretty much unexplained. Well, to honour what I said at the beginning I can't even mention it but I'll get back to it once people have read most of the volumes.

Is it safe to talk about the entire series yet? I know I haven't been voting because I'd rather just go along with what everyone else chooses =P

I'll just say that I was somewhat dissatisfied with the ending as it wrapped a lot of things up a little TOO neatly. Made me think that good endings are really hard to do... but then again, I'm the type that likes to see full and complete resolutions, even if it took another whole volume to do so. Either that, or just leave everything up to the viewer's imagination. Anything in between will always come off as some kind of cop out.
