I got pretty hyped because of the snippet I saw with the anime. Did it live up to the hype? Not really. The first part was fine and the second just was okay. I would read the second volume just to see where the first one ends up and if the story gets better as it progresses.

Dark magic.
Witches.
Political unrest.
I absolutely fell in love with this series. Firstly, let's acknowledge the amazing artwork. My breath catches with each new volume. The art design creates a unique world that you easily delve into, and the character design tells you so much about the personality of each protagonist and antagonist.
The tale follows Guideau, a tempestuous character not living in their own skin, and Ashaf, a mysterious mage with many secrets yet to be told. The duo works as contractors for an independent magical body The Order of Magical Resonance. The core plot centers around a witch hunt that are packed with supernatural action, all while exploring the themes of identity and belonging through well-written tropes.
My new obsession for 2023 is this series, and I devoured all currently released volumes as quickly as I possibly could!

Disjointed and somewhat confusing story of a duo fighting witches. Their motivations and backstory are gradually revealed but (as I expected) many questions remain at the conclusion of this volume.
A lot of wordless panels of what I presume are representations of magic battling. Some gore but because its not in color it wasnt always apparent to me at first glance. (Clearly I am not knowledgeable about the cultural subtleties in the art to get more out of this book.)
The story isn't bad but the cursing is more prevalent than I had expected. Perhaps the next volume will be easier for me to grasp the story arc.
