rocklobster's Review
This was certainly a surprise for me. It is a very beautifully drawn story with a splendid Victorian backdrop. The pacing of the story is slow, but I didn’t mind because the characters developed with it. As their friendship grows, you start to learn about both Victorique and Kujo’s pasts and the country itself. It seems as though everyone has his/her own story and enjoyed finding out the secrets of each character. My main beef, however, is that Victorique solves the mystery via deus ex machina–you never actually get a chance to see how all the puzzle’s pieces fit. I like to play detective when I watch a mystery, so it kind of frustrated me. Other than that, I think this is one of Bones’s best titles, right up there with Rahxephon, Full Metal Alchemist, and Eureka Seven.
