 There are some real flashes of brilliance in here! The art and story get more and more ambitious, but often does feel like two artists trying things out. Cool to see so many dark skinned characters in this series!

I love that we got more plot and more characters, and the action was INCREDIBLY drawn ~ I could see the movement in my head, and I really hope this gets picked up for an anime! I feel like Studio Trigger would do these characters a lot of justice 🤩

Okay, so this came together well! The first volume was fun, but kinda all over the place; this volume was more cohesive. It was nice to get to hang out with some of the other characters this time, and let Kazu and Pandora have smaller parts. We get a better feel for the world, and we get some more serious situations for the characters to deal with. Also, there's cute guys with horns (what?!? I've got a type, sorry/not sorry)!

 This volume has gotten a great deal darker though it opens with a chaotic game of basically keep-away until an egg hatched.

I like the story best when it focuses on Kazu, Pandora, Nemo, and Hitomi. A bunch of new characters were introduced and a side character got the spotlight, but I didn’t care too much for it. The artwork is still excellent as usual, but when so much is going on it can get confusing.
