I was not really impressed at the beginning. I had to push myself to actually finish it, but overall it was not bad. I am not used to read mangas and maybe the fact I’ve read it online and not in paper form is to blame. I will probably read volume 2, too. It was quite okay read, but hard for me to get into.
