This comic could perhaps be described as a nostalgic magical-realistic schooboy comedy with occult elements but it is also so much more. Without saying too much, this comic features the following ideas and concepts: school story, gakuran, delinquents, birds, sharp objects, yandere, glasses moe, shoujo flowers and romance, sparkles, scary things, fanciful thoughts, wide-eyed youth, mysterious and strange happenings, eroguro innocence, crack humour, and weird characters. If any of these things appeal to you please check it out.
MAIN CHARACTERS
from left to right
Oscar is the President of the Student Council. The position was thrust on him since he had the highest grades in the senior class. He is a kind of mysterious guy and is the most mischievous when he smiles, and when he looks at you in that certain way- watch out! He sleeps in school a lot. It's really a wonder when he finds the time to study.
Jirou became the leader of the delinquents at his high school supposedly because he beat the previous boss in a very bloody battle that he started because he was bored one day. Contrary to his rather
violent nature, Jirou spends lots of time reading trashy shoujo manga and is somewhat of a hopeless romantic who likes shiny, pretty, cute things. He can be really scary when provoked but there is someone who
really melts his heart to pieces.
Vivien is the second strongest person in the school after Jirou and is not someone who you would want to mess with. No matter what she will kick your ass if need be. Vivien can be kind at times but don't catch her when she hasn't gotten enough sleep. She can almost always be found by Oscar's side, but what kind of relationship do they have?
