Whatever started the manga style's fascination with schoolgirls is surely lost in the mists of Japanese cultural history, but here's another one. She is not particularly in peril from anything more serious than the bitchy girls at school making her buy their lunches, but she has a unique talent, in that whenever someone is dying, a grey ring will be visible to her around their necks.

Such bright and breezy stylistic quirks only make the very dark ending even more unexpected, and manga fans will, I'm sure, appreciate them all. I found a few plot elements not to my satisfaction, and the cheap and cheerful way fabric prints were drawn on by computer too tacky. Still, like many a Bookbag site user I would never dream of giving a manga book a five star review, but I'm grateful to the publishers for sending this to us to sample, and would recommend this book for the fan of the genre as a series opener of note.
