Using this as a placeholder for the entire series (volumes 1-14) which I finished today.

The art style, the robust worldbuilding, and the well-fleshed-out characters all made this manga one of my favourites, easily. I particularly enjoyed the monster designs (both visually and in terms of how they fit into their ecosystem, what they are on a biological level, all that) and the body horror aspects in the later volumes. Couldn't put this story down!
