This is a really fun story! The art is great, the character design is damn good and the story isn't annoying. I do wish there'd be a manga out there that would handle the concept of giving up on dreams in a graceful manner rather than this "pursue your dreams at all costs always and never ever give up" business, but this story is too good to get hung up on that. The pacing is good, there's no annoying love interests or purely fanservice/mascot characters. There's some predictable plot turns, but they're executed pretty well so you can't stay too mad at it, and I do love that Kafka gets found out really quickly. So far the author's been very good at not making any plot beats, action or characters outstay their welcome. I find all the characters to be likeable, and it's also SO goddamn refreshing having a main character in an action manga that's in his freaking 30s and actually feels it.
