I really like it!

I've watched the anime before, it's one of my favorites. This manga adaptation is also really good! There's a little epilogue, presumably written by Hanokage, the artist of the manga, and I'd like to tell them- in response to it- that they did a really good job with the art!

One thing though, maybe this is just me not knowing how things really work, I read the Turkish translation, and they translated the signs into Turkish without leaving anything from the Japanese original. I think it would've been cooler if they kept the signs in their original form and written the Turkish translation into a separate box, but it was a great translation nonetheless, so shoutout to Tolga Kıray, the translator, as well.

And an additional shoutout to all the people in the Komikşeyler stand in the 2024 Antalya Book Fair, that's where I bought this lol

I haven't been making progress on this book for a long while, and I'm struggling to even finish Taming the Infinite, so I'll stop for now and pick up again after I get out of this reading slump or whatever they call it
