  剣で戦う硬派なSF？
  Hard science fiction fighting with swords?
  万人受けはしないかもしれないけど、好きな人はハマる作品。原作も読んでみて、世界観そのままなコミカライズでした！戦闘シーンが格好いいです！アメリカ大陸に似た土地を舞台に、政治を絡ませつつ人生と小説、謎の怪物との因縁など、作者さんの熱い思いが詰まっていると感じます。小説好きとしては読んでてうれしくなります。あとはキャラが魅力的。脇役の人物像に奥行きがあって、エピソードも面白い。この巻数でここまで密度の濃いマンガは久しぶりです。最初2話まで読んで迷いましたが、面白いという話を信じて正解でした！原作2巻までマンガで読みたいんですが、続編でないかな…

  It may not be well received by everyone, but those who like it are addicted to it. I also read the original story, and it was comicalized with the world view intact! The battle scenes are so cool! Set in a land similar to the American continent, I feel that it is filled with the author's passion, such as life, novels, and the causal relationship between mysterious monsters while entangling politics. As a novel lover, I'm happy to read it. After that, the characters are fascinating. There is depth to the characters in the supporting characters, and the episodes are interesting. It's been a long time since there was such a dense manga with this number of volumes. I was at a loss after reading the first 2 episodes, but I was right because I believed the story was interesting! I want to read up to 2 volumes of the original in manga, but I wonder if it's a sequel...

  面白い！
  interesting!
  産業革命あたりの仮想ファンタジーという感じなので、歴史物や冒険ファンタジーの好きな人におすすめ。ストーリーは軽すぎず重すぎず。絵も細部までよく描けてて好き。あと何より主役の2人のやり取りが楽しい?3巻で完結のようなのでもったいないと思うけど、最後まで応援したいです！

  It feels like a virtual fantasy from around the industrial revolution, so I recommend it to people who like historical objects and adventure fantasies. The story is neither too light nor too heavy. I also like the pictures because they are well drawn down to the smallest detail. Also, more than anything else, is the interaction between the two leading actors fun? It seems like volume 3 is complete, so I think it would be a waste, but I want to support them until the end!
