5.0

Absolutely gorgeous art style (the background and architecture were just <em>amazing</em>, also doesn't hurt that almost everyone's pretty or cute) and loving the world building (Professor Tam Tam lessons are top notch).

There's a lot more political intrigue than I thought there would be.

Kippa is just too fucking cute T_T I wanna protect her at all cost.
