First manga I've ever read. Reading backwards wasn't as difficult as I expected. 
 As for the story, although I really like the idea of crystal gem people with special abilities, I struggled to follow along for most of the book. I think the issue is that the art is black and white, and the characters main dif erence was hair colour which was lost once in black and white.  

I was expecting a more interesting story considering the awesome gem world it's set in, and as it was so difficult to follow, I won't be reading any more volumes of this series.

I think I need to read more to get a clearer picture of what's going on. The art is nice, but very confusing panels.
