I enjoyed it, but I forgot it was YA and expected it to be longer with more plot twists and turns, but it seems like that's all coming more in the sequels. I enjoyed the narrator voice though, probably because he came off bratty but not annoyingly so. Sometimes YA first person narrators are too...down on themselves? Only to discover they are actually super special. I like a smug little shit once in a while.

Ahh yes, the new CCS is pretty and cute. You should give it a try! They definitely cut out the Touya/Yuki (Toby/Julian lol) bits from the US version.
