The series takes the trope of a man out of time into a setting that feels very grounded. Even harder topics like cannibalism is never treated as shock value, but rather with humility. It also crafted a post-apocalyptic future that feels like it might as well could happen in our world. The world around it is barren and cold, and the descendants of the survivors are written as people with a culture that has evolved through centuries.
However, the main character as it is right now is the weakest part of this manga. A man over his head with his fragile masculinity that cannot back up
...
his own conviction most of the time; looking down on the "savagery" of the people who have survived the post-apocalyptic future for years. With how the MC is written, it reeks of a savior complex and colonizer that tries to imbue their wisdom towards the "savage men". And the manga almost constantly frames him as the one in the right; the "civilized man" so to speak, in a time where that word no longer has the same definition as our time.
Perhaps there is hope for character development in the future. But as it stands, for now, I wouldn't hope much.
