I'll be reviewing this article. It'll take some time I will always use a ping to tell the nominator. Happy editing.Tintor2 (talk) 19:54, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

@Link20XX:

• First of all the lead needs to be explored per the guidelines. This is what I do for the leads.

1. First paragraph for the primary media and the premise of the story.
2. Second paragraph could be about all adaptations but there is no need to cover all details.
3. Third or fourth paragraph (depending on length) should be a brief commentary about how the series was receieved generally.

• • Expanded
• The plot is easy to understand so I'm pretty sure it passes guidelines of writing of fiction. I would only suggest to avoid short paragraphs
  • Made the paragraphs longer
• Cast is well sourced.
• Anime needs original video animation and then the (OVA) for better understanding.
  • Done
• Light novel doesn't need a table since it's a single volume and everything can be seen in prose. If it's divided by title then I suggest that.
  • Removed
• Liveaction film needs to be updated "The adaptation, slated to be released in Japan in September 2016" was it delayed or cancelled?
  • Updated
• Reception seems okay considering nowadays it's hard to find manga reviews but I would suggest adding another one like this to expand on coverage.
  • Expanded using the review provided

That's all for me so far. Good work with the article. Try covering these issues and I'll pass it. Maybe you could use Tokyo Babylon or Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration (none of these are GA though) as models of short mangas to gain more experience when writing these types of article.Tintor2 (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

@Tintor2: Hello. See my responses above. Link20XX (talk) 23:14, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

@Link20XX: Two last things. Can you put a premise about the light novel alongside its English release date? Lastly, remove citations from the lead. The body is meant to reference material from the lead that is supposed have already been covered. Also, if possible does the author talk about the series' creation in those afterwards from the volumes? They are rarely used but it helps if it's available.Tintor2 (talk) 23:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I added a plot summary for the light novel and removed the references in the lead. As for the inspiration, at least in the volumes I own the author didn't provide much of an inspiration for the series' creation. The only thing I could find was this ANN interview, but I'm not sure if its enough to write a creation section. Link20XX (talk) 23:57, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Any tidbit could be added to the manga section if there is not material for creation section. Still, the main issues were solved. I'll give it a pass.Tintor2 (talk) 00:01, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
