Pretty solid. Love the art, the color pages, how it’s an overarching story but most chapters are also self contained.
There are some surprisingly sweet, funny moments, especially between Kirie and Shuichi. He’s kind of the GOAT. They’re really good together.
I wanted to love this, truly, but the ending/last couple chapters fell short. I’m a lore girlie, and they did not delve deep enough into the history for me to be totally satisfied.
I definitely think Ito excels at long form compared to his short stories, and on that note alone I think it’s worth reading this.
