Cardboard characters, enough exposition to bash brains in, and a story only concerned with the semblance of depth more than saying anything at all. Earns good will from unique panel composition and presentation but it’s utterly wasted.

The first third of the story is dedicated to trying to Jomy Marcus Shin, one of our two main leads. We learn about his upbringing, the pristine nature of society, and the long standing conflict between those outcasted and the super computer that wants to uphold the status quo. But instead of being conveying characters and world via autonomy and cohesively, a majority of the run time is lambasted ... by huge texts about the world that's not that complicated to begin with.

Jomy is shoved into a conflict head first and after a character we barely know dies, takes a complete backseat after becoming one of the strongest characters. Second part of the story introduces us to a rival character and second lead, Keith. But the same issues persist and timeskips are the easy solution when you want your characters go from A to B without having connective tissue. Last third is about their confrontation and falling action. But at that point, it felt like there was nowhere else to go and the conclusion/epilogue was hastily done. I've heard the adaptations are much better but this is only a review for the manga source material.

There are interesting ideas and concepts in theory here but you'd get as much enjoyment out of seeing them play out as much as reading a wikipedia article.
