What an incredible read!
Just finished the manga. Decided to randomly read it after remembering the first page of the first chapter. I saw it like 10 years ago and thought it was awesome, but wasn’t much of a reader then.
It 5 day or so day binge for me (not much free time). Man is this good! Wish I would’ve read it as a kid and grew up with it, given it took 18 years!
I wanna know how the anime holds up (gonna watch regardless) and you guys’ thoughts on the manga.
So far, it’s one of my favorite reads, period. Q Hayashida’s artwork is INCREDIBLE, even the panels that weren’t as detailed are so good. I’m not sure if the story is actually that good, but I enjoyed it a lot. A little convoluted forwards the end, but that’s how it always goes. I love that Hayashida stuck it out and gave it a proper ending instead of ending in Volume 19. That’s some dedication and makes it so much better.
Oh, another discussion-ish thing: any manga recommendations based on liking this so much? Hayashida’s work or not.
