670 pages of it to be exact. He that is not the English language at least fundamentally powerful, is should rather not do;)
As the manga is I do not know, but the Novel does not differ in any case in some respects from the anime, but in a negative sense. On the contrary, it is quite interesting to read, the whole as again runs differently. In fact, the basic sequence of events is completely different than in the anime. Much of the anime came in the Novel before not at all and the other way came in the novel very much off what did not appear in the anime and what occurred in two is usually completely different expired.
What we can conclude is definitely that it is not boring, even if you've already seen the anime)
By no later than the last third of it will be really exciting, I have read not for nothing the last 300 pages in one day. Although the end is a bit too short, but too bad it is now not.
So recommended for all fans of anime or general Yuri fan definitely.
And the, the books not as like: Do not worry, I can not stand books basically so, but as long as her fans since Yuri, you will enjoy this novel series have :)
