Plot:"There once was a girl with a splendid flower blooming upon her chest."
When Lys was born, her heart did not beat at all. To save her, her mother made a contract with a devil: Lys can borrow his heart until the day she turns sixteen, but after that, he will eat her body. Together with her companion, Siva, someone whom she met by chance in the desert at night, she travels around as a dancer girl to find the devil who sealed her fate. One day, while they were traveling, they suddenly meet an egoistic prince and a ring spirit...
Review:
This is a really sweet manga and I really like the idea of borrowing demons' hearts to survive, plus one for creativity.
It's a short no nonsense series and isn't ridden with unnecessary chapters and idiotic situations. I feel like a bit more angst, stuggle and a couple more chapters would've been better and given it a more solid, conclusive ending but I'm fine with it. The gap between the finale and the ending scene was good enough nonetheless.
It easily makes it into my list of manga I'll read again and it's not a waste of time but it's not the absolute best.
