I recently read Ran to Haiiro no Sekai. It was a pleasant surprise for me. The AU felt like something I already saw in my dreams but had to see to remember.
I don't like the central character. She is willing to give up everyone in the world to save someone in mutual obsessive love. But when Outarou, the recipient of her love, died I felt so sad even though I hated his character so much. I thought his death as a survivor is so much more dignified as a survivor and a lover than just host for parasites who is forgotten in the evil that took over him. even though it took the lives of some extra lives along the way.
I do not like the central character... her moves would get everyone killed if she wasn't surrounded by powerful people. But the story is about a little girl growing up. Somehow I trust Hime to pull her through. It has been sometime since I felt engaged with a story and fell in love with its originality. At least I didn't find something similar. If you have let me know.
