I’ve read many retellings this year, many of which I have given 5⭐️. But Medea absolutely blew them out of the park. The main character, Medea, was perhaps the most real I have experienced since Misaki in The Sword of Kaigen. Absolutely spellbinding. The plot was thrilling and fast paced.

Watching as the character’s mind was slowly warped by manipulation and mistreatment was heartbreaking.

Absolutely mesmerising. Would recommend to anyone.
