VOLUME 3 REVIEW;
The best volume because everything unfolds, and you get to learn about the real history and plans behind WaqWaq.
SUMMARY OF PREMISE (spoiler-free);
This is basically a Shonen Science-Fantasy, set in a post-apocalyptic world called WaqWaq. There are only 3 life forms that exist in this mostly deserted landscape of sand. Black-blood humans who are androids. They live underground towns to protect themselves from Machines. These Machines are trying to destroy black-bloods because they rebelled against Red-blood humans (the original humans, aka us). Which wiped out all of red bloods. The red-bloods created both the black-bloods and machines, but aren't able to turn off the programming of the machines. So the machines are constantly stuck trying to destroy black-bloods. But 3 Magis (basically gods in this world), created 7 powerful machines that can fuse with a black-blood, giving them super natural powers. These black-bloods are designated as Guardians of the towns, and protect them in a endless war of black-bloods vs machines.
OVERALL REVIEW;
In a nutshell. It reminds me of CLAMP's X series (that they never finished). Where a Kami (human red-blooded girl from another timeline) arrives in the world and can grant one wish to a person. But instead of that Kami being all powerful, the Guardians of the WaqWaq world are all powerful, as well as the 3 Magis. So in that sense, it is more like Escaflowne, set in a Nier Automata dystopian future.
The rest of the artwork—gives me Samurai 8 vibes—however sometimes it is hard to tell what is going on, because the art can get congested sometimes.
The series doesn't start off good for me. It is hard to connect to some of the characters because the character development is poor; including the death scenes. I can even think of more likeable characters from other series.
Battles and abilities aren't even that interesting. Even though they give me some Megaman vibes. Such as our Main Characters default power is Eating and he gains the abilities of his defeated foes. He swallows Fire, then Fire burns Wood, and Wood drains Water.
Lastly, we have plenty information about the main characters father, but nothing about the mother. Which seems so strange to me. There are themes of ethnic cleansing like Attack On Titan, but it doesn't try to send a bad message.
