****I received a copy of this from NetGalley and BOOM! Studios in exchange for an honest review!****
It's been a long time since I've read a graphic novel, but this one was so damn kick-ass. It isn't the first time I've seen this concept of reincarnation and two people fated to find/kill each other (Kannazuki no Miko comes to mind pretty strong especially since that also had LGBT elements), but I did enjoy this gritter style.
I have always been intrigued by the idea of reincarnation in general, but the idea of retaining your memories across these different lives, and how all of the different cultures you've been a part of, is so freaking interesting to think about. How would someone act if they've lived countless lives? Could you still make the same mistakes over and over again, or will you be like perfect and never mess up beyond accounting for real surprises? I'm hungry for more information about this story's universe.
The art style is what really prompted me to request it, but I did seem to notice some change about halfway through, where I couldn't tell if it was the same artist. Otherwise, not much to complain about in this, it was fun and has a lot of elements that pull me in.
