Not the worst, but not as epic as they seem to imply.

Kind of lacking in big character arcs, there was an unnecessary and frankly odd romance that didn't seem to exist until they needed conflict and then it didn't happen anyway but they stayed friends? I think? Or they human girl was dating the inch tall man who "lives" faster than human so that she needed special equipment to even see him? I'm pretty sure that "living faster than humans" suggests that they'll die a lot quicker, too?

The main character is sent to live with her father after something has happened to her mother but they never elaborate on that. All they say is that she is "mourning" and she needs to talk to her dad about that, but this is never resolved.

Cool art, characters could have used more fleshing out, story needed some loose ends being tied up, and either make let the romance come naturally or don't add it at all, it really didn't make sense.
