I love how the female lead isn't whiny and over emotional and is used as a distraction against the leads goals. The story has a sense of realism in the way it portrays the cruelness of the characters actions, it isn't some save "humanity bs and a random old lady on half a Minecraft heart in the middle of a police chase" and more save "myself and the people I care about" and that is very refreshing to see. This is always a problem with popular animes and mangas, albeit this story is still in it's early stages so lets see how it unravels from here.
