I became interested in this manga around the time I was heartily obsessed with anime like Cardcaptors and Sailor Moon, which was a good few years ago. Then just recently, I decided to finish reading it.
The idea of 'words containing power', Lotis Masters and people learning to deal with bad things in the past were nice story concepts, but the romance, though nice to see develop, had me a little restless and edgy; and while I do quite like the art, there was perhaps a few little over detailed parts. The humor was nothing more than a smile jerker and while there was also a bit of action with Lotis and Maram words conflicting against each other, it did not have me on the edge of my seat.

I've read various mangas from Watase-sensei gladly (I'm an honest fan), but I was bitterly dissappointed by this one. I understand the roll that every stereotipycal character must play in this shoujo manga, but enough is enough, this one is very poor: Why is there always have to be so many secrets? Why does the lame heroine always have to put up with everything so selflessly and quietly? Can't it work out without all those cheesy resources? I mean, for a story where words are the most important thing, communication is the greatest absent. Tanpopo wasn't that weakling, neither Takiko... So? And what's that sick possesiveness thing about? "Steal a boyfriend"? Dude... he's not a thing, he has a free will, hasn't he? "Love always hurt"? I disagree. If the situation hurts, makes you miserable and torments you... for ME, that's not love (it has turned into something else). Who knows? Maybe I personally disliked it so strongly because I happen to have a younger sister and she's my adoration, I would NEVER choose anyone before her. To even think that the presence of some guy may destroy or weaken the bond between sisters... it makes me sick. As for the rest, in my opinion, anyone who see themselves as a poor victim and think that all humans are the same (or feel ashamed of human condition) is a boring mental weakling.
