I don't know if I feel fully invested in this story yet, especially knowing how vast the series seems to be at this point, but I definitely feel compelled to continue seeing some of the character arcs Yukimura has begun to develope. While I think the character development is well done, I struggle to feel attached to the characters because their unplesant aspects seem to overshadow their emotional core. I am no stranger to unlikeable characters and they usually work well for me but there is something about the way they have been done so far that seems a bit off. I will keep reading but will need something majorly effective to happen to feel like this series is worth reading.
