The characters are very complicated, so I can't really write about them, I can say my personal experience with them, but that doesn't have to be true for you xD
Sion made me think about a little lamp who can't stand on his own feet. He always needs help, for example from Nezumi. He is honest and unbelievable naive, but that's what people like about him. Nezumi is very important to him, and he doesn't like to fight... In the last episode he isn't entirely himself, or, I saw another side of him... So now I don't know if I like him very much anymore.
Nezumi hates No. 6, and wants to destroy it. Sion doesn't, and so they (nearly ?) fight a lot about that. Later in the series I found out that his family was killed because of No. 6, so that's his reason for wanting to destroy it. But I don't understand that he said that at the end, he could have said it earlier, couldn't he??
Summary: When Sion is stil a child, he saves a criminal, named Nezumi. For that reason the city, No. 6, takes certain privileges from him, and he has to move. Years later, Sion sees dead people in his job, and is arrested because of it... Nezumi saves him and takes him out of the city. Then there are some episodes where there doesn't really happen something, (a bit boring :( ), and at the end, the infiiltrate the city, to destroy and save it (or something like that :$), which also really happens.
My view: A weird serie, in the beginning, it's going slow, fast, slow, fast, then a very long part VERY SLOOOOOWW..... and the end is so fast that you almost have to see it two times... I couldn't really find a morale in this story, all your expectations are in the end proven wrong, so that makes it interesting, but in my opinion this series could have been a LOT better!!

My view: One of the best series I know, I can watch it over and over again... The emotions are real, and the end is unexpected, just how I like it! Everything is a little tragic, but that doesn't matter, it makes it feel more real. I would be really happy if you saw it too, because it's a shame if you don't... so... WATCH!!!!

- Kazuya Kujo:
- The main character of the story. As the youngest son of a soldier, Kazuya has spent most of his life struggling with living in his highly successful siblings' shadows. Jealous of all the attention his brothers got, he worked hard to compete, but everything changed when he understood that adults, who think that the youngest child is always spoiled and useless, will never acknowledge his efforts. With a permanent scar in his heart he left the military academy in Japan and before anyone from his family could stop him, went to study abroad to St. Marguerite. Unfortunately, his appearance, combined with the student body's belief that "the traveler who comes in the spring brings death with him" has resulted in Kazuya being called the "Reaper" and having no friends. By some twist of fate he becomes a messenger and companion to the most eccentric pupil in the school, Victorique. At first he didn't like Victorique because of her arrogant attitude, but after some time he started to care for her and be protective of her. It is shown that he is willing to risk his life to protect her on more than one occasion. He is described, by Victorique, as a good and sincere person whose soul is pure and beautiful enough to admit pride. Although he claims to have good academic achievement higher than his older brothers, he can be very dense and slow. He does have admirable fighting and athletic ability to make up for it. It can be assumed that while Kujo has a good memory, he has a poor sense of creativity and has little common sense in living. Instead he has to rely on Victorique to explain for even the simplest things. Despite everything that happened in Japan he is proud to be a soldier's son.
- Victorique de Blois:
- The heroine of the story. Victorique has the appearance of a small (4' 7"), almost doll-like, girl with long golden hair and emerald eyes and a voice that sounds exactly like that of an older woman. Another important part of Victorique's appearance is a pipe that she smokes when thinking about something; though in the anime, it is never shown to be lit or showing her smoking due to her young age. She spends her days at the conservatory at the top of the library, reading several difficult books, often in different languages, simultaneously. She points at one wall of the library and has told Kazuya that she has read almost all the books over there. Along with her sharp tongue, abusive bluntness and eccentric attitude, she possesses a genius level intellect which she applies as a consulting detective. After Victorique saves him from a near-arrest, Kazuya finds himself being entangled in every new mystery. Because her mother, Cordelia Gallo, was a mistress, and according to Victorique "a dangerous person", she was imprisoned in the depths of the de Blois mansion where she developed very un-childlike mannerisms. She was sent off to school under strict orders to never leave the campus. Only in exceptional circumstances, she obtains permission from Grevil to leave the campus. When she first met Kazuya she did not like him and thought that he was annoying and stupid for climbing up all the stairs in the library. She even ignored him and made fun of him, but gradually warmed up to him and began to trust and cherish him. Despite acting harshly towards Kazuya at times, it's clear that she cares deeply for him, as seen many time when he is in danger. She enjoys "reconstructing chaos" by solving intricate mysteries and often complains of the boredom as the root of her headaches. Throughout the TV series, Victorique was also called by others as the "Golden Fairy in the High Tower", "Gray Wolf" and at the end of the series "Charming Monster"; all of them creatures of folktales.
My view: One of the best series I know, I can watch it over and over again... The emotions are real, and the end is unexpected, just how I like it! Everything is a little tragic, but that doesn't matter, it makes it feel more real. I would be really happy if you saw it too, because it's a shame if you don't... so... WATCH!!!!
