Just, wow.

After the end of Vol.1 I didn’t know how the second half would be. I am not disappointed after the cliff hanger ending with Vol.1. This volume would have been just as perfect if it were just a political drama anime, but to take that concept and put it in a Shakespearian story was brilliant!

Overall

I just loved this half of the story. Even though the ending is something everyone should know, I still grew to care for the characters and hoped for the best with the others. I respected the ending, even though I thought it was getting a little weird Juliet grew wings. WINGS!!!!! Trust me, it makes sense in context but still it was odd that it just came out of nowhere. And the fights were beautifully drawn and animated. Also the dual between Romeo and Juliet, again in context it makes sense, was touching and drawn well. You could really understand the torment going on in Juliet’s heart. A really touching scene is during the ending credits: it involves the side characters that managed to survive going about their lives in a time skip. This series is a must watch for anyone whether they like Shakespeare’s work or not.
