Read this over the weekend & enjoyed it a lot! I was looking for something to read so tried out the first couple chapters of a few random series and this was the third one (third time really is the charm). I enjoy these kinds of competitive non-sport manga and I love to see ones that dive into specific cultural traditions. The art of the series really suited the theme, the stylized exaggerated expressions really sold what the story was trying to show. I did have a bit of trouble following the hierarchies and structures (of like. who was in which school. what schools were at odds with each other and why. ect. especially since a lot of them are at odds with something they're also a part of? and that's never explained outright. looking it up on the wiki cleared it up though). considering if I want to add this to my collection goals? I'd probably want to get it in japanese if I do.
