The pacing felt more like reading a bogged down novel. Not that it's bad nor good.

Emotionally, it felt very disconnected and kinda SoL ish. Not sure if the manga artist managed to depict the vibes the original novel did.

It's an alright read, but it won't really WOW you if you're a veteran at reading heartbreaks, time-travelling, etc.

At least the suits, the weapons, and the aliens looked cool.

Good but not great

by Theoneyedsnake

The art was really good, and in the beginning the story was great. Although, at some point the story felt rushed and the characters felt like they became flat.

The story was based on a one volume novel with the same name. There was probably a lack of content to work with to make a fully developed story.

Side note: they made a movie of this novel/manga which I personally enjoyed more.

So many manga overstay their welcome just to keep the serialization going. While I feel for the authors who are trying to make a living, the best manga tell their story and end it there. This manga perfectly embodies that, the characters are developed and the plot resolved. Excellent story and art, looking forward to reading their further series.

Exhilarating read

by fwoom

The characters fall slightly flat of distinct personalities, but given the interesting situation the main character is caught in it's not a huge flaw, as the story itself is exciting and intense to read. Awesome artwork too from the artist of Death Note - the mimics look grotesque.

Overall the whole thing reads like a poignant, intense poem more than it is a full novel. Would recommend.

The Charm of the First Volume

by smokeesid

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

I wonder if it is difficult to imbibe the thrill in manga but it is rare. The feeling that I search, (Berserk is its quintessence) I found it here, with a diffused sense of exhilaration which peaked at the end of volume 1 that strictly followed a fast rhythm insinuated in its vivid artwork that absorbs the readers with increasing anticipation for a gratifying end.

And it is abrupt, the way volume 2 changes in its tone and on the contrary it becomes rather plain and relaxed. And when it ends you are left wondering in counterfactual arguments that a gratifying ending was possible and it didn't have to be shonen-like

But due to the happiness rendered from volume 1 you are settled merrily with the time spend in reading it. And thus this manga is justifiably an 8

the first few chapters make my heart throb like crazy, but the ending wind down the tension a bit so im quite unsatisfied with it. however, the story and the art is still great, though i would love very long manga, so try this for a quick exhilaration.

Very interesting plot and ideas; art is amazing, top notch. The authors have a good sense of romance and emotion in the writing, some of it was kind of like poetry. Only problem I had with the manga was that it was too rushed. Some concepts were difficult to understand, but that's just me.
