The Guardians of Desire chapters are what sold me on this series. Guts and Puck interactions set the tone brilliantly and will make you excited for their return dozens of chapters later.

The beginning of one of the best mangas out there. If you can handle the trigger warnings I encourage you to read the incredible story Miura-sensei was able to give us in his life.

Not for the faint of heart. 
Gripping, dark and yet couldn’t get enough. The first volume set up characters and major events well, without giving too much away - keeping the air of mystery and intrigue. 

The art is outstanding, and lives up to all of the hype it was given when it was recommended to me.

A must read.
