Spoiler Free OF COURSE BE CAREFUL TO READ THE PREQUEL LEVIUS WITHOUT THE /EST BEFORE READING THIS MANGA THERE ARE ONLY 3 VOLUMES TO READ BEFORE 90https://www.bodoi.info/wpcontent/uploads/2015/08/levius1cover.png 97https://assets.appbubble.co//ubrbwqqjmg/xc0gkh3rct.jpg 95https://www.planetebd.com/dynamicImages/album/cover/large/29/16/albumcoverlarge29162.jpg OUTSTANDING I love how the steampunk style is well represented the drawing of Nakata is really bluffing in my opinion. About the story and the characters we really get on with it and the mechanical boxing dimension in this universe is really impressive. I still love characters such as Levius and Dr. Clown and the development of Levius between the very first volume and now is very interesting so I look forward to continuing to learn more about them and other characters that I would not spoil. One of the peculiarity of this manga if you buy the volumes is that the reading direction is western even the bubbles are horizontal instead of being generally vertical. To be honest it was a bit disturbing at first but you have to admit that having horizontal bubbles makes reading for westerners much more enjoyable. STORY : 8/10 ART : 10/10 A very particular style but WHAT A STYLE. The fights are very dynamics and the precision of the drawings fascinates me more and more with each volume. Nakata uses perfectly the computer and software blur to put us in the heart of the action. 227https://i.pin.com/originals/63/11/a1/6311a11f0ad2fe586f36d1665540e2a8.jpg 220https://i.pin.com/originals/03/06/98/03069865e7ad240c64fb62987ae162cf.png Conclusion : There are 10 volumes out in Japan now and Ive only read 6 of them but I am personally a fan of this manga and if you are a fan of boxing steampunk style or even international plots and conspiracy you will love this manga and its prequel.
