wow, this grabbed my attention. I read through the first three chapters, and I must say that this is a very awesome story. The art is beautiful and the story seems very complex and deep. It's confusing, but engrossing and the cutting between times is done quite nicely. I'm enjoying this immensely right now.
edit - lord almighty... i just could not get to sleep until I read the rest of this... I haven't cried in months... this story was just so beautiful, dark and twisted and depressing, but beautiful at the same time. it took me quite a while to figure out what was going on, and i sometimes got confused, but wow, just an amazing read. great find aprax. deep deep deep stuff. this one's a keeper.
