Tiene una estética manga muy conseguida y solo por el dibujo ya merecería la pena, pero no he entrado en la historia.

Immensely beautiful and very, very poorly written, Heartbeat sees Maria Llovet - the person behind the amazing art on Faithless - flex her writing skills. Now, it seems that this was originally published in 2015 so, hopefully, she's grown as a writer since then because damn this is pretty weak. It's like a teenage fantasy of a person that read Aku No Hana and scrolled through too many goth-girl Tumblr accounts - bloody, edgy, and wholly laughable. From blood drinking to incest to steamy sex scenes, this is aesthetically pleasing but a headache to get through. Perhaps a more capable writer could have spun this into something better but Llovet is, at least in this instance, a far superior artist than writer.

I'd love to see her art again and again but if she tries her hand as a writer again, I'll be cautious.
