My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Despite the emphasis on their physical relationship, acting as a married couple in front of their new housemate (Mr. Hoplander), and Lysithea's confession, Taron continues to be a mystery. He acts cold and like everything is a contract, but there's no denying he does show an unusual amount of care at occasional moments with Lysithea that don't seem to match the narrative. There seems to be more to Mr. Hoplander than lets on as well, which isn't entirely unexpected given his position as a detective. Just what did he mean by wanting to "save" Lysithea, and why is he so intrigued by the third floor?

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


The art is beautiful, but the story wasn't what I was expecting. Lysithea starts out as a strong character, escaping from her family's murder and her own attempted assault, and managing to broker a way to her own freedom. When she meets Taron, that all seems to fall apart. Suddenly, she's panicking over everything, barely able to hold it together, gets sick, and makes several questionable decisions. Taron himself comes across as rather cold and uncaring, yet he does save Lysithea and cares for her when she's ill. From his tone, it's all about the money of the deal, but his actions have a way of saying something else occasionally. Clearly, they end up together, though it's yet to be seen if this will be a lasting relationship or just another fantasy.
