THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!

Thank you, Bre, for introducing me to this series. I am in love.

For the first half of this volume things were moving really slowly compared to other mangas I've read. That made me think I wouldn't like it. But out of nowhere, I was hooked. I don't even remember the moment I got invested. It snuck up on me and grabbed me by the throat.

I highly suggest giving these a read. I'm on volume 4 now and am thoroughly obsessed.

Disegni bellissimi e ricchi di espressività, trama avvincente, personaggi intriganti, sceneggiatura che lascia col fiato sospeso... Non vedo l'ora di divorare gli altri 8 volumi.

caitschiffer's review against another edition

5.0

Wow, what an intro! I'm not usually one for thrillers because the premise tends to supersede characters and themes. That said, this volume strikes the perfect balance between all of those elements. The analysis about what it means to do the "right thing" also really resonated with me for some reason and please let the record show that I used a Ted Lasso bookmark throughout my read that quoted, "Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing." How positively ironic.
