I've been in such an insane reading slump the past few months 😭 I may come back to this. For now I think I'm going to start reading through the books I got for Christmas as they're all things I've read before and love, so hopefully that rejuvenates me

I will pick this up again later, as I was liking it. I've been in a reading rut lately, and I think starting a fantasy trilogy might be too big of an ask for my brain right now :/

might come back to this! having trouble finding it all online

Hmm, this is strangely disappointing. Biomega and Blame! are two of my favorite manga ever, so I expected to enjoy Sidonia as well since it's his most popular series.

I had heard whisperings that there's fan service for some ungodly reason when he's never really leaned into that, and in general the story isn't as engaging for me.

My biggest disappointment I think is that I can tell he's starting to cut corners. I've seen panels from the later volumes that show he's putting less effort into the art itself, which makes me sad. I suspect deadlines/overwork.

The reason I love his other two series so much is how much that degree in architecture shines. Man knows how to create a labyrinthian futuristic hellscape. There are glimpses in this, but it's sort of lacking. Idk, maybe I'll try again at a later date, but it's not grabbing me.

Perhaps I should have started with Fight Club

I am at peace now with the truth that young adult is no longer for me and that is okay
