I liked the aesthetic of this series a lot, maybe less so the plot

I can dig this! I admit I gave Edgar the side-eye for most of this volume; like, really, he couldn't just ask Lydia to work for him instead of kidnapping her? A bad sign, we may be dealing with one of Those Sort of shoujo 'heroes'. I felt reassured by the backstory though, I don't think it excuses his behaviour but the fact that Ayuko gave an explanation makes me feel like she realizes it was unacceptable. I really like the art too! Combined with the fact that this volume contains many of my favoured elements – dramatic backstory, fairies, lady butlers – I feel inclined to continue with this series. 3 stars

I really liked this manga! The plot was intriguing and I loved it! I would have died (exaggeration) if I hadn't had the next book. But thankfully, I had them at hand.
The girl is a fairy doctor, and everyone think's she's mad/crazy because she can see fairies but not many others can. When her father sends for her to travel to London, she goes, but get's abducted by Huxley, a man whose been killing girls. She's rescued though by St. John (I think. It's St. something. I'm sure the actual review is right) who was supposedly like Huxley, only in America but is an earl in London. He has motives of his own though. He needs help finding a sword that belongs to the Blue Knight. Only a true heir can claim it, and the fairy doctor is having her doubts when he can't see fairies. Is he telling the truth, or lying and what is their fate?
There was a little blood and killing, but it wasn't too bad (I didn't think) and maybe once or twice strong language. Overall though, really good!!

I haven't read the light novels, so I didn't have high or low expectations from already knowing the story. My lackluster response is likely my own fault, since I know that I don't generally enjoy shojo unless it's been recommended specifically to me by a friend who knows my reading preferences well. If you generally enjoy shojo, then I would recommend this. I really enjoy manga art of historical European settings, and the treasure hunt/fugitive/romance aspects of the story seem like they'll make a fun read. This just isn't my cup of tea (though I find the mysterious servant side characters and talking cat interesting), because the main character is a pretty standard awkward girl, and the main love interest is angsty. I mean, I just couldn't get past the angsty guy who has to be reformed by love or some odd girl thing after it literally said in the book, "His kindness and harshness are both facets of his sadness." Bleeeeeeh.
