I am not experienced with these types of manga (post-apocalyptic/scif-fi), nor was I particularly interested in it, but this series had me hooked.
(MINOR SPOILERS)
Story (10):
General story that sounds basic enough, a girl in a world after aliens and disease has wiped out nearly all humans, and is on a mission to purify the land from the disease, and hopefully find other survivors. These aliens (the Executioners), brought along a disease called Crystiolis, a highly contaigous, deadly disease with no known cure. The victim, once dead, will grow crystals on their bodies that further spreads the disease. What I realy like about this story is that it is rather calm, with the plot progressing through meetings and encounters with the few side characters that there are (most of them are robots).It really instills a sense of lonliness, in fact, so far there are only two other human survivors in the story at the moment. This series is quite literaly a lonely solemn slice-of-life
Art (9):
Although the character art isn't anything amazing, what really shines is the background and setting art. It's detailed and just manages to convey the apoclyptic vibe, at least to me.
Characters (10):
The main characters, the girl, and later on, the boy and his little sister are nicely created. However, I really enjoyed all of the other, I guess sort of temporary side characters. For example, the story about the android servant and the manor master really hit deep for me, andI also think the old grandpa was a really good character. And the the backstory about the boy brother and his dad nearly made me cry :(.
Also, I must mention, the world and the setting is an easy 10 for me as well.
Overall, I really really REALLY recommend this series. Even if you are like me and doesn't have that much of an interest into post-apocalyptic slash sci-fi stuff, I promise you, you will enjoy it as much as I did.
(this is my first review if anyone cares)
