Very nice review of a title I thought was really beautiful and as you note “serene.” Very much looking forward to volume 2 when it comes out later this Spring (or is it summer? *sigh*)

@Isaac Hale - It's slated for July, isn't it? Still, I appreciate that they continue to put out the classics titles, even if more slowly.

God I love CMX. I hope this kind of quality can continue! Meanwhile, I’ll count the months until “Eroica” 14 comes out…

Thanks!

And, you know, I don't tend to mind age differences so much when the older party at least experiences some qualms about what they're feeling and tries to keep it under wraps. And, too, Chouko is 18 when the story starts and enrolls in college pretty quickly thereafter, so it's not like she's fifteen or something.

At first I thought, "Oh, this sounds like The Secret Garden." And then it really, really didn't. But it does sound really interesting, and though at first I was shaken by the age difference mentioned, I realized this is nearly the same gap that exists between my parents (10+ years). I love quiet stories, and this one really interests me. Great review!
