•Exceptionally written 1st volume
•Fascinating yet subtle world-building infused with steampunk, fantasy, & supernatural facets
•Imperfectly charming characters
•Heart-wrenching interactions
•Tender yet satisfyingly ambiguous relationship developments
•Violent & brutally grotesque towards the last one-third to one-quarter, but adds dimension to plot & lore
•Wholeheartedly would LOVE an anime adaptation
•5/5
