Good story, packed with action and violence. Great visual! Loved the colouring and especially the layouts. Perfect use of the medium, very fun and dynamic pages.
Nice recognizable subcultures, and the whole school vibe really works with the plot. They captured the perfect amount of teenage angst and mixed it with the cynicism needed for such a dark story.
Kind of “fear and loathing meet sin city … in high school”?

1.0

 Poorly written, unoriginal, and boring. Full of stereotypes and the only two female characters were solely there to serve as love interests for the mediocre male main character. No wonder it took me 5 months to slog through 160 pages. Won't be continuing the series.

i really liked this first installment! (and the second, this is a review for both) the art and colors gave everything a distinct vibe, the introduction to the characters and world were compelling. saya is very hot. yes the characters are very stupid sometimes but they are also 15. and the craziness just draws you in. don't know why the author keeps on writing about poop situations tho.

ok the cons. i get the most people seem to be a racial stereotype is kind of like. an even playing field and once you get to know the characters you find out they have more to them but like. it really seems to play more into the female characters. saya and maria are such stereotypes it hurts sometimes. maria especially like. the fans and the makeup are really cool! why didn't you give another character a distinct fighting style like that? 

ok time to go put the most content warnings i think ive ever put on a book before

The TV show is actually a really direct adaptation of the comic book, which surprised me a lot. I really don't have any strong feelings about this but definitely prefer the TV show. I'm sure for people who have some nostalgia for the 80s this would be much more impactful.
