I am torn because Centuria does some cool things, but I cannot force myself to give it higher score, even though this book has a lot of action, revelations and great art. But the writing is dragging it down so much. Kuramori is talented and gives his best, but he wants to do so much, so fast and does the opposite of "show, don't tell".
I have to say that this volume is really pushing its Berserk inspiration and adoration. The armour designs, movements, action scenes and double pages really feel like from the Golden age arc of Berserk. And I do not see this as a wrong thing, it wears its inspiration proudly. But what it does is subconsciously I am comparing it because the art and world design feel similar and I believe that it needs to cut itself and grow so it can get better.
The story brings carnage and lot of fighting. It brings with itself a lot of tropes, which work and are cool, but unfortunately, the worse thing is that the characters still land very flat for me. Conflict between family and duty is a classic one and works, but overall except for the villans, everyone feels so far like a npc. We'll see how it will be in the future.
It slowly gets better and better and I hope that it will continue on this trajectory.
