Impression: This is the story of a young girl who travels from place to place to cure people who are possessed by beings called Ils that make their victims kill people. Once that happens, there is no way to save the victim anymore and both must be killed to set things right. Drawn by the same guy who's drawing Defense Devil, the art is just as stylistic and complex as his weekly publication. I must say that March Story is just as original as Defense Devil but I feel that the way they handle the scenes and story pacing here is superior to Defense Devil which is probably due to the different writers and release format. The main character is very intriguing with her background and current situation and there is a lot to work with here. This could turn out to be very nice if they decide to make it a character driven story than a plot based one so I’ve got high hopes for this.
