I don't get it. I don't get the hype. It has a bland story. Almost no romance. No comedy.
A little more about it. The story is meh, at best. I'm not saying you can't enjoy it, I'm saying it is meh. Bland. There is something that seems like the start of some plot elements, but in the end its light, bland, meh. Some forced drama, but still light.
Next, no romance. Some cutely scenes, but thats it. You can't say that makes it a romance. Imagine a 2-hours war movie with 5 minutes of some people hugging and calling it a romance. Yes, the last chapters make you happy/giddy/whatever, but still it can't be called romance.
No comedy. Some funny moments, some comedic actions, but thats no comedy.
The art style is ok, I guess. Nice designs, the action scenes are good.
And thats about it. A little bit too long, meh story. Yes, you might get a little excited along the way (mostly towards the end chapters), but still not enough to understand the hype. I guess people are still confusing "I like" with "good media". You can also like bad media (manga), there's nothing wrong with that, but do know the difference.
I'll go with "mixed feelings" and a (barely) 5 rating, just for the sake of it. I mean, its not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it either. Its almost like a waste of time. You can read it to pass time, or just to read stuff. Or maybe for the art?
Have a lovely evening.
