Woo! Rushed! Woosh-waddaboom-ca-crash! Done!
That's the feeling I'm left with after this manga. It tries to tell a grand story, but with 12 chapters à 30 pages there's not a big lot of stuff you can do. While the story - which itnerested me becasue of its Norse Mythology setting (I'm Norwegian) -, was really good, and had everything it needed, it lacked the chapters to do so, which made it feel rushed.

It is suggested for the reader to have played the game to understand the manga and fill in the unexplained for themselves, but it is not necessary. Because the reader is assumed to be familiar with the plot points ... Feb 14, 2024
Just finished reading this review and If you want to read an alternative to the video game then this one is pretty good. It's not the best adaptation I've ever read but it's pretty well done for a manga based on a video game.
