First time reading Manga so I am out of my realm of reviewing because I don't know if so e of my criticism are with just this one or is it Manga as a whole.

For example I thought almost all supporting characters were really flat and just props to the main character. The main character got to reflect on their choices and grapple with the idea of what is right, which I loved that they took time from the plot to reflect but he is really the only one who gets to.

That story overall was interesting and I am thinking of continuing the series.
