Beautiful art with warm, saturated colors and a story that deals with themes of militarism, colonialism, and xenophobia. Steeped in an underrepresented historical culture. It's pretty simple, handling the themes by subverting what one would expect from this kind of story, particularly by being critical of the empire. Though I wish the characters had more dimension.
