Amongst fun character interactions and well-timed comedy, one other thing stood out to me. CLEAR fights. Fights where I could follow the choreography without having to reverse engineer how the various wounds on the enemy's body were caused.

Generally, if I don't enjoy a manga, I'll drop it. Instead, here I am, having caught up with it, and writing its first review on this site. I enjoy this manga, but I'm also not completely blind to its flaws.
Being 32 chapters deep(as of the time of writing), and it feels like the story is only getting started. Is the mangaka biting more than he can chew?

Ideally, I would like this story to continue in a direction that focuses less on world-building and more on the characters themselves. I want to see Kafka evolve over the course of the story and to grow into someone who we can feel fulfilled and self-actualised. The epitome of what it is like to live as a monster in society infested by malignant ones. Having experienced both rejection and acceptance for his newly found self.
To wrap this review up, I want to say that I like this manga and I hope that others give it a chance, too. The plot is predictable at times and yet it manages to seem fresh to me. The characters could get some more depth, but they're still a lovable bunch. Whether this manga ends up great or not, I think I'm in for the ride.
