Absolutely recommend this manga..
The art is obvious. Literally every single panel was a work of art.
It's one of those stories that was so well put together. It was poetic and beautiful in every step of the journey that's why I was hooked enough to read all 327 chapters in less than a week. lol! I mean it's loosely based off a novel and true history so that likely a huge reason the story is so well put together.

My criticisms other than hiatus: Technically none. The character growth in this manga is incredible and one of the best parts of the manga. but if you are impatient and cannot handle dialogue with hidden/ deeper meanings then I can see how you may grow tired of it at SOME parts. (Some might call it slow) For me, that was not the case. For me personally, the manga is good from the beginning but around 100 chapters in is where I REALLY got into the manga. Just something to note for people who start.

If you value development and you love action -- This is the one.
