For the ones that don't know,the mange is supossed to be a sequel for the ps1 game of the same name,but its events became "non-canon" because of the events the shadow hearts trilogy for the ps2.

The manga itself is a nice little additiion to the franchise on general,a nice well-made story,the enviroment fits well with kouldelka/shadow hearts universe and really looks like something it would happen after the end of the game.

The manga fails in some aspect though and one is its art.Ok,that was little harsh,it doesn't really "fail",just doesn't represent the franchise. The art is very "cute" looking and very "cartoony",like your normal everyday shounen. The oroginal game had "realistic" art and the scenary was considerably gruesome,with boddies pilled in the floor,blood splats and such and showed some rather "shocking" moments like a suicide scene with a shotgun. This manga doesn't even come close of showing this imagery and in fact is quite "wholesome".
