Diamond Dust review

-Recommended for: People looking for a deeply emotional, soul-searching story about two people supporting one another in the midst of crisis
-Not recommended for: Readers who want comedic moments, steamy romance, or a happy ending.

-Story (8/10): I picked up this manhwa as a filler story with rather mediocre expectations - "oh look, another story about a young, burnt out piano prodigy pushed to the limit by her parent's strict and unrealistic expectations". I have read a lot of different manga that follow that general recipe, but this story added several new and unexpected elements that allowed it to move far beyond that basic plotline.

From a more technical standpoint, the story had good pacing and a clear plotline to follow.

-Art (7/10): The style was fairly standard for what I come across from digital manhwa/webcomics, and the quality was consistent and good. I especially liked how the facial expressions were rendered.

-Characters (9/10): The characters were, by far, the strongest part of this story. The author does a superb job of getting the readers to feel emotionally invested and attached to the main characters. I can count on one hand the number of manga that have moved me to tears, and this is one of them. Watching the characters as they grow as individuals, confront their own psychological battles, learn to support one another, and come to terms with unavoidable tragedy was beautiful to see.
