Credits Grade: 5 Izsak and Cree are members of a punk band, and they fall for each other, despite Izsak not really knowing who he really is. In this final volume, they face one last test of their relationship.Izsak and Cree are an unusual couple. Cree especially is very different from the usual cute, naive and super sweet girls I usually run across in romantic mangas. However, how their relationship plays out is pretty traditional: misunderstandings, fights and making up. One problem I had with this is that in the end, it seems Cree is more or less obligated to be with Izsak, in order to help him control himself. I don't like it when one person in a couple winds up having to manage the behavior of their partner. However, both Izsak and Cree want and accept this. Points for the offbeat nature of their romance; for an atypical girl and for the working in of a bit of blood play. Points off for the unbalanced nature of their relationship at the end.
