A manga I really enjoyed it might seem edgy for the sake of being edgy at first but if you get over that youre in for a ride I like to restart anytime. Its by no means flawless but definitely worth a try and one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever. There are fews characters at first that you will actually like but that will change later on the story really good as soon as the whole gang is together but even before that its good enough to at least continue to read. After the first part of the story it gets rather quick but everything is more or less set up soon enough to not seem rushed so I dont think that the pacing will be a problem the first real boss fight was great as the important characters had theyre role shown perfectly. As the story progresses a fight for survival turns into an attempt to save a world that doesnt seem worth saving at first that Ayas life was so horrible to begin with and has to get better for her to actually have a reason to fight is a major criticism towards the show which I can understand but the true nature of her character wouldnt be what it is if the world was good at first. Something that should should stay in mind while reading is that the Tempest isnt that far away so all parties want to beat and use each other as quick as possible in order to survive which is why the story progresses as it does. The ending may seem a bit confusing if you didnt read magical girl of the end gotta admit I havent finished it and dont plan to finish it but that manga is only important in terms of how everything before the very beginning started the characters who appear dont play any real role and are there for like 4 panels I think one of them was there the whole time but only in the baclground so fck him Thanks for reading and I hope that I could make you consider reading this manga. Bye and have fun.
