loved the anime (10/10) so I had to give this a shot, and I liked it (despite the unnecessary amount of fan service) loved the character biographies and the director interview at the end! 3.5/5

I bought this because it was one of the only mangas at my local used bookstore. It was ok… just felt like it was lacking though. Also the first chapter lacked a opening and felt super confusing.

A fine introduction to the anime that left me wanting more. It's a unique, scify noir about the adventures of a boy and his cyborg cop. Basically a very edgy Calvin and Hobbs.

Enjoyed it, though it was a bit of a hodge podge of cases thrown together. I didn't realize until I was finished that it was based off an anime series. Perhaps I will have to look up the episodes.

Great artwork, but a confusing story.
