[this listing is for the entire series, not just vol 1] 
the ending genuinely totally ruined the entire thing. like...... i dont want to read a story like that only for it to end Like That. and even if the ending were good there were some... questionable decisions throughout the whole thing.
i did very much enjoy all the conspiracy/politics/street gang/mafia warfare plot goin on tho. and ash and eiji are cute :) also shorter, my best friend shorter.
