It's a very compelling start to a new series that shows the mangaka is still at top of her game. I'm very excited to read more and curious about the world and concept; it just took me a little while to get through because of how much text-based exposition happens. Not faulting  her for it as they've got a lot of lore to introduce, but it did make it a bit slower than I wanted it to go. (Immediately could tell it would be a smash hit as an anime.)

This was a decent first volume. I found the exposition dump to be really boring and the pacing felt off. I'm going to read the next couple volumes to see where it goes. I like the characters and the concept of the story.
