I just love Itou's works. I think this story is left best right where it stopped, it brought out a few points to consider but it leaves the reader to mull them over and come to their own conclusions. I have only recently been made aware of her earlier works, but am glad they are being posted here. I would love to get her autograph and talk when we get over to Japan on vacation in a couple years, but my Japanese is through translation which is not very good I'm told and I don't k ow how her english is. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be looking for manga and merch to buy!
