honestly… this was a bit of a drag and the writing style leaves a lot to be desired. maybe because it’s translated, so I’m not getting the true experience, but the sentences and speech are really jerky and don’t flow well in some parts. there is a lot of really random “thought” text where the author just explains stuff to us instead of showing it. at times it felt like i was reading a parody? not sure how to explain it but really didn’t like the narrative voice 

all in all I didn’t enjoy this very much because of style, which is weird because i really liked the show. the characters are interesting if a bit flat in this first volume, but i can forgive that since I know this is only the beginning of the story. Not sure I’ll read more, which sucks because i wanted to skip ahead of the show lol
