Rank:  (from 1 to 10) 9

Usually girls who reads Shoujo don’t like the “fighting mangas” (or at least the ones I’ve known) but for me is completely different, if it’s good, bring it on!!! I encountered this manga after I saw the anime in Cartoon Network, I happened to watch it just because I was bored and there wasn’t anything else in the TV, but after half an hour I was eager for more.
