For the first trade in an ongoing comic series, it was nice to just have all the chapters in one. But I can't wait to start volume 2 and reserve 3-10 at the library!

“This is how an idea becomes real. But ideas are fragile things.“

Some of the most phenomenal character design I’ve ever come across. Instantly likable characters, incredible witty dialogue, and fascinating writing overall. I honestly can barely wrap my head around it. 

And this is only volume one.
