I tried to like this, but I just can’t. I’m giving up without finishing. Cedric & Hiroko just aren’t likable enough for me to care about what happens to them anymore. It started off well, but just when I was getting invested in the story it was like the author decided to strip every likable aspect of their personalities for different reasons. They are basically mirror copies of each other, and I don’t like either of them anymore. I read the synopsis of the rest of the story arcs and that was enough for me to tell that it wasn’t going to get any better. I’m done with the Black Ocean now. It’s a shame it couldn’t have gone out on a better note.
