Really like this compared to Phantom in the Twilight, or any similar shoujo. Focus on two interesting characters instead of four generic ones. Kiyotaka consistently breaking into Aoi's thoughts and showing both unsettlingly analytical and quietly wise sides really establishes him as a character. Also it suggests that the writers know a bit more about classic mystery stories than some others. Even if Aoi is a simpler character, her boyfriend dumping her for her best friend is both a more developed and realistic backstory than some shoujo anime heroines get in bishonen focused series.
