I’ve never been super into mecha manga or anime, but I wanted to read the first volume. First, the character design’s funky in a good way. It’s refreshing to get a manga with characters in college or actually post-grads/graduate students.

On the positive, the robot scenes are dynamic and look good.

Didn't care for the portrayal of female characters at all. The snarky guy’s sister seems flat, vapid, and manipulative. The manga goes out of its way for Hiroshi’s nonverbal little sister’s legs to be spread. Like, for no reason and it’s very intentional, however, you want to take that. The sister is wide-leggedly open all the time; bust open like a can of biscuits with a full-on panty shot. No sir, no ma’am. This type of thing is off-putting.

Anyway, won’t be continuing but gave it a shot since it was on display at the library. Ultimately it couldn't keep my interest. ( )
