Two eps. in and not really sure what to think of the series itself yet.


However, I absolutely LOVE the OST for this!

The song in the beginning and towards the end of the episode was absolutely lovely!

The Snow Princess encounter on the train was funny and you just know that this is Hamaji’s brother. Too bad he stayed on the train. And he doesn’t seem to be too comfortable around spirits either although he’s living with one. But it was sad that the Snow Princess gave up her beautiful voice to save his life.
