This is a story of a young and tragic love, set in the aerial city of Neo Verona. Tyranny rules this island in the sky after the Montague family took control 14 years prior. The disparity among the wealthy and poor is apparent in the present state, the earth dries and water stagnates. The sky itself is wrapped in a deep dense fog. Both Romeo and Juliet's lineages are of present and past ruling families of Neo Verona. Romeo is the son of the current Montague dictator, Juliet (a beautiful woman) masquerades as a man (Odin), she's the last descendent of Capulet the previous rulers who were killed by an assasin's dagger 14 years ago. Her true background is not to be revealed to her until her 16th birthday. The cruel hands of fate introduces 2 people who will become "Star Crossed Lovers". |

I like this take on Romeo and Juliet. It has the tendency to be mushy, overly sentimental and annoying, but on the whole it's a refreshing spin-off of the classic story. I like the little twists like the fact that Juliet is a masked avenger and that there is a whole political conflict rather than just a family feud. I also really liked what they did with the character of William. He is insane. There are many little original twists and I definitely recommend this to anyone who like Shakespeare and to girls in particular if you like more than just puky romance in your shojo. There are a lot of complex and symbolic elements in here that are worth the 26 episodes.
