This creeps up to a 4. I still have no idea about the tower or the world outside of it, other than people take these tests to get to the top and some people live, apparently?, in the tower. But our boy is from outside the tower… another world? Who knows. All we do know is he’s looking for a girl who went into the tower for whatever reason. He got a cool sword from someone. There’s daughters of jahad, possibly the former emperor of the tower… and one of them lent him said sword.
Everything else has just been tests. Buuut it’s now tapped into its inner Naruto. The fights are way cooler in these “tests”. Each person does feel like Naruto. They’ve got like a speciality and a Thing they do, and they just be fighting it out. What do you even get at the top of the tower? Not too sure. But I like the fights enough to round up to a 4. The artwork reminds me of Fiona Staples’ Saga. When the artist takes their time, it’s really fantastic. When it’s rushed, it certainly looked sketchy. More on than off, though, thankfully.
