      This is a great story so far! It seems quite shoujo-ish, which I love. I have a feeling that the Akura in this story are actually based off of demons, since it sounds much like Akuma, the Japanese word for demon. I`ve also been watching a lot of Black Butler lately. This story brings up some real-world issues such as equality, without making it a political manifesto. I like stories that can pull that off well. Anyway, you got a favorite from me! I will definitely keep reading!
