Thought this was fair review; this is a manga i discovered independently and dug a lot. It has an intense, emotional hook, creative and wild enemies, great art, and interesting characters (Crimson is a character type I love, think Gen from Dr. Stone). However, it was a bit depressing when everyone else i know who bothered to look into it dismissed it as complete garbage, lol.

If anyone likes reading dark fantasy manga, i recommend this one. In addition to everything else, it has a weird, manic tone that i like. May not be for everyone, but it gets a thumbs up from me.

Thrilled to see Ragna Crimson getting some attention. I've been reading the series for awhile and look forward to picking the first volume up. All-around a solid review. Fans of Nier and the like should really enjoy it.

Hey, glad you enjoyed my take on it. It's not one I'd heard much chatter about before being given the review so I am curious to see what people think.

As I stated, outside the early portions and the samey-ness of a few of the concepts, I thought it was incredibly well-executed. Complete garbage seems waaaaaaaaay too cruel for a work that looks this good + kinetic.

Then you're saying I should pick up Nier finally...
