I rated this manga with a 2 mainly because I didn't get it at all. Or rather, I do have a hint of what the author might have wanted to say, and it might have been interesting if it had been done differently. That's why I gave the manga an overall rating of 2, instead of just 1.

Story - As the synopsys well says, the author tried to be poetic, and took poetry to an annoyngly dangerous level, as the story ended up being confusing. "Poetic" doesn't ecqual "complicated", or "cryptic".

Characters - There is no character development at all, which is to be expected, as the manga is 14 pages long. I don't expect character development in such a short manga, but I do expect to have at least a slight idea of how the characters are, which didn't happen either.

Art - It's certainly unique, but I didn't like it at all. It's childish and sloppy. The only interesting thing is the red colour that the author used in some of the panels, or rather the idea of adding colour to some of the panels, not the way in which it was done.

Enjoyment - Being the manga so short, it obviously doesn't give time to get bored or consider dropping it, buy it certainly isn't enjoyable either.
