15/100 of my 2026 manga vol challenge
i'm happy that it finally got a physical release. i hope we also get an english physical book soon.
you can read this manga on manga plus by shueisha. it's currently at chapter 11 with weekly release.
i really like the story so far, but we're already at chapter 11 and the magic system is still unclear. there's not even a hint of the greater conflict between humans and mages. although the lore building is slow, and sometimes it's a writer's choice to build it up that way, but i still wish there were hints here and there so we can understand a bit of the setting.
i like the art. i especially like the clothing. but some panels look empty. i'm not sure if it's filled in on the book, but the first few chapters were alright. the empty panels were most noticeable after chapter 4.
the first chapter hooks you up instantly, but the end of the first volume is a little lackluster. however, i'm still really excited with the progression, and getting to learn more about the lore and magic system.
