I think there are some manga that surpass any type of criticism and serious review. This is the case with Sinna 1905. This is not relevant content and will add absolutely nothing to the culture and general thinking about the story and the purpose that the manga has. It is not because it is an unpopular title, but because it is of a very low quality, irrational and exposes an absolutely confusing text.

Apparently (Yes, "apparently". Even the meaning of this is somewhat doubtful), the manga proposes an introduction of fuses in a war between two groups. This is not an abomination, in fact, if done ... well, you can qualify a title. Evangelion, for example, is the biggest type of anime in which mecha was a good choice for building a show.
But no, Sinna just does horrible action scenes and still has no plot or premise objective. The characters, the fighting scenario and the logical execution destroy all the small volume. It is really pathetic to look at each page literally as a garbage of meaning and presentation. My God, I've seen manga with 3D images, but these mechas were really one of the biggest jokes I've ever seen in my life.

What I also fail to understand is the very introduction of female aggregation into history. The beginning of the manga has a shock of reality, where women are presented as people who are not able to be warriors and the story features three or four "Ladies", on opposite sides. But ... It was no use. Any quality that can be extracted from these few pages is instantly thrown in the trash, where all that remains are colored pages. And yet, it has no merits. It seems that the author made a point of doing this systematically just to create an innovation of Japanese comic readings.

It is interesting to note that Kitoh Mohiro is an author known for creating the Bokurano manga, something infinitely more structured and thought out. If Sinna 1905 has any importance in the Japanese reading industry, it was just being a prototype of a story that has similar elements and genres. In the end, I don't recommend reading. If you intend to read this, save your time, pretend that this manga does not exist, because only the name is "cool".

It's short and weird enough that it's probably worth reading, but the available English fan translation quality and the manga's quality itself make it very confusing and underwhelming. It has some interesting full-colour visuals with the tank-mech things rendered via 3DCG. The quality of it all is poor, but it's cool to see colour manga at least.

The story is centered around these very awkward-looking, awkward-operating tank-mechs and a two-sided war. It's hard to understand exactly why they're fighting or what they're fighting for, exactly. The main characters seem to be a bit more egalitarian and less blood-hungry than the other faction, but there's so little ... context supplied. The little skirmishes that comprise the majority of this are incredibly hard to follow as well.

It can be read in 20-30 minutes, so it's probably worth checking out, but it's incredibly disappointing, especially considering the slight amounts of potential it showed.
