Personal Opinion
Written by the same artist who made Fullmetal Alchemist and an anime coming in early 2026 makes this the perfect timing to pick this up. Expecting great characters, a deep world and several plot twists.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Upcoming anime (hype)
- Interesting world building
- Furigana
Cons
- Might contain a lot of world specific vocabulary and technical jargon
- Ongoing, so in case of an offshoot likely to catch up at some point
