I love the art style for this comic adaptation. I think if fits the story’s vibes and is accurate in the portrayal of each of the characters. 

The story and its pacing were easy enough to follow. If you have not read the original novels, then it might take a bit to grasp what’s going on, but there are footnotes throughout the comic that point out details and terms that are important to the story and particular to this genre. 

My only qualm was how this first volume ended. It felt very abrupt  and it left me wishing I had picked up the second volume along with the first.
