I adored this manga series in my teens and coming back to it as an adult was certainly an experience.
There's a lot about the setting and language that certainly isn't for the modern day and in hindsight Dee's advances (especially in this book) are not okay.
Yet I still can't shake the soft spot I have for this series. It was so crucial for the time in my life in which I found it and so many of the characters are loveable and well written despite theor very obvious flaws.
The dialogue feels very charismatic and funny and it has some of my favorite acts of the series (namely act 1 and 4)
