Danger lurks on almost every page, if these characters are not fighting for their lives, they are exploring the purpose of all this cruelty. It is almost as if we are treated to a glimpse of humanity's response to such a threat, the confrontation of the potential of mortality, but to also rapidly find coping strategies to survive. This second edition brings an abundance of revelations that are not at all shocking to me since I have already watched these moments unfold in its Anime adaptation, but enduring through and reviewing the character motivations brought forth a greater appreciation of its ideas and storytelling. The artwork comes alive in this larger format, but its ergonomics are cumbersome, with the paperback's temperament fed by its broad weight. However, despite all of this, I was still enamoured.
