The main idea of this story is interesting, brothers/enemies are trapped in a situation in which they have to unite in order to survive.
Though not easy to follow, this story has a lively atmosphere. But, as the story progresses, with lots of actions and conversations, the plot does not but very slow. Some characters are quite well developed, but I found many nonhuman characters are somewhat confusing sometimes. I think, a character reference would be helpful.
