If I could sum up the overall feeling of this series it would be Kira wide-eyed and crying over something shocking that was just revealed. Most of the series was melodrama, but a classic that I had to read. After having read countless of manga stories, the westerness of this one is kind of shocking. It must have been a trend in the 90s. The feel of manga school drama today are much more culturally Japanese than this one was. I mean they wore street clothes to school. Are there school like that?
