This was an okay read for me. But I really struggled to get into it.. It absolutely bothered me that Haru only referred to herself in third person. That's something I don't really vibe with. Other than that I found the premise to be really interesting but the execution so far seems a bit dull to me.
Yes, there was an assassination attempt. But it didn't go very far and somehow I struggle to believe they will get more creativ/thrilling.
And the characters also weren't all that interesting to me (although I do guess that still has mainly to do with Haru...)
