This manga was fine. The plot seems to be very interesting, but the pace of this volume is so slow, it doesn't get far enough through the plot to actually entice me to read Volume 2. The artwork is nicely done and is very good at suggesting movements. However, the main two male characters are very confusing, and it took me far too long to distinguish one from the other.

Enjoyable but not too remarkable.
The story is laid out in a fairly logical way but is quite slow in this volume. It’s an unusual story and one that I would see more often in a novel than a manga. Regardless, it worked in a pleasant way.
What is pictured on the cover is a good representation of the art within. The lines are thin but not too thin. From nearly every angle pictured the art was drawn well. I found it pleasing to look at.
I did have some issues with the story (ex. the kidnapping) but I am curious to see how the author will deal with that issue even further.
The historical elements were depicted well and nearly everything was correct or close to it.

I think initially what sucked me in right away was it's setting and how it started with her being kidnapped in order to be used for her ability reminded me of Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare but that's where the similarity ends. she goes from being kidnapped by one group to then immediately get kidnapped by another. I do appreciate how fiery she is, she doesn't cave and makes it clear that she's there to do good. Knowing who published this I'm predicting that the characters are likely to get together at some point in the series but I appreciate the slow burn of that interaction. after all she was just kidnapped by this guy a few days ago and I dislike those series where the girl immediately gets Stockholm syndrome and falls in love with the guy
Graphic: Kidnapping
