na razie najlepszy tom. podoba mi sie kreatywny pomysl z glowami biedakow ale obejrzalam juz anime wiec nic zaskakujacego

[Yoshiro · Rating 4 out of 5]

The world presented in the comic book is brutal, dense, dirty , and oppressive. We are transported to Europe at the turn of the century, where religious dogma constitutes the sole, exclusive and uncontested interpretation of reality. The author's vision, however, does not attempt to construct a textbook, meticulously detailed architectural model. Instead, the author focuses on perfectly conveying the psychological burden of the times. From the very first page, the reader feels constant pressure, paranoia, and a pervasive fear of being accused of breaking the established rules.

The series' atmosphere oscillates between claustrophobic dread and transcendent awe of the universe. On the one hand, we have dark, cold cells, terrifying torture devices, and dingy inns, and on the other, breathtaking, illuminated skyscapes, which for the characters represent a promise of a higher truth. This contrast has a truly stunning effect on the viewer.

The visuals of manga may evoke mixed feelings upon first encounter. The illustrations are stark , powerful, and at times even sparse or minimalistic. The author wastes no time or effort on complex, overly detailed backgrounds or intricate shading. He opts for a simple form, but this is a fully conscious choice, entirely subordinated to the efficient delivery of the narrative. Backgrounds are sometimes deliberately simplified or omitted altogether, allowing the reader to focus maximum attention on the characters' faces, their gestures, and the extreme emotions flowing through them....

Things are really heating up. I like Badeni's arc throughout this, so very selfish to his core but still finds a way to care about the world around him- especially those who are friendly with him and support his ambition in any way. I do appreciate how this series, while presenting this terrible society that oppresses and hunts down others as heretics, makes the world feel full of hope and optimistic. Maybe that's because I'm reading this series in [current year] and know the truth (to the extent we know now) of some of these things, but whenever this manga pans out to show the sky full of stars there is a majestic beauty in it.

I really like Oczy and Badeni, so I was a bit disappointed by the end of chapter 32… But I do enjoy how this story is so sweeping, spanning decades and focusing on the spread of heliocentrism as a concept rather than on specific characters. The return of Jolenta at the end of this volume was also exciting!

What is the essence of torture? The answer is simple. It’s a balance between conviction and negotiation.

Every single chapter of this book was quite simply a masterpiece. One of the best pieces of media I've read as an adult.

Nadal rysunki średnie, a dodatkowo w tym tomie mamy przeskok między arkami. Nie powiem, podoba mi się początek tego nowego, ale ta seria jakoś nie potrafi mnie bardziej porwać - jest po prostu ok

what can I say? the plot gets crazier. I'm forever grateful for reading this. I can't wait to read the next two volumes
