After binging through the anime, I couldn't stop myself from doing the same with the manga. Just a day or two later, I've gone through all 175 chapters that were available at the time of writing this review, and I can't wait for more. Only two other series have made me this excited about waiting for the next chapter, and those two series were Naruto and Bleach. I'm sure you've heard of them. It feels like I've traveled back to my adolescent years and it's making me feel a strange kind of nostalgia.

This series just seems to hit all the beats that make a great story. From a riveting story to an astonishing art style, to three-dimensional interesting characters and vivid, suspenseful battle scenes. The author has achieved a perfect balance between tragedy and the typical "cool moments" that you'd come to expect from a shonen, and the story is very focused and well-paced (albeit with very little downtime between fights). It doesn't meander around pointlessly.

I'm going to reserve my 10 until I see how the story ends, but for now it's getting a solid 9 or 9.5 from me.
