So far, the art and atmosphere are amazing but the casual treatment of sexual assault as a silly punchline is disgusting. Hope this shapes up!

I like the atmosphere surrounding this book. The setting is so realized I could almost stand up and walk through the doors of a seedy 60’s-era bar and hear the band play. The flower child aesthetic will always make me roll my eyes though.

At this point in the story, the creepy misogyny and lewd humor is getting to me and really detracting from my review of this book. Amazing action and storytelling juxtaposed with weird power fetishes and flirtations with incest? No thanks.

This reads like ‘Tropes: The Manga’. Every character seems like a caricature come to life, but in a good way. Some of the narrative choices haven’t aged well (specifically, the misogyny) but I’m hooked by the story. Enjoying my time with it so far!
