I discovered this manga by chance, and after I read the summary, I put it on my "Plan to Read" list. After finally getting some time to dive into it, here came chapter 1. "Completely absorbed" would be the state I'd find myself in.

In terms of pace, I really enjoyed this work, even though it had a lot to take in, I still found it rather smooth to do so, and the exposition of such details didn't feel as forced as I've seen in some other works.

Character-wise, I loved it as well. The way the characters exposed their thoughts and intentions really nailed it for me, to such degree I could nearly relate to some events, understanding exactly each perspective. Overall, there wasn't a character I hated (in this case, liking/hating is related to how well the characters were made, not if they had the purpose of being heroes/villains in the story).

Laughing, nearly crying, I even found myself holding my breath sometimes; that's how invested I was into the story, hence why I can safely say it was one of the most enjoyable works I've read up to date (not that I've read that many, but it's the feeling that counts :p).

Overall, I deemed this manga worthy of an 8/10, and I know many will disagree, but after all, this is a personal review, hopefully you found these general remarks somewhat useful, and come to enjoy it as much as I did.
