Yes
I have memories of the anime.

>>287308961I would say it's better to stop reading right after they caught sight of the prince's island.

>>287307793No
>>287307739 It’s good but it’s not for everyone. If you’re expecting shounen hype battles you’re gonna get filtered hard. It’s way more about atmosphere, despair, politics, and that slow existential dread of “our entire society is fundamentally fucked.”Art carries it hard. Umeda’s panels are gorgeous and the costume/world designs are kino. The emotional stuff hits early on, especially once they leave the Mud Whale and the tone shifts from comfy isolation fantasy to straight up suffering.That said, it drags in the later arcs. Lots of faction hopping, melodrama, and characters monologuing about feelings and fate. Some people love that, some people get exhausted.If you liked the anime but felt it was rushed, the manga goes way deeper. If you thought the anime was already kind of a chore, the manga won’t magically fix that.tldr: strong start, beautiful art, uneven middle, divisive ending. Worth reading at least the first few volumes to see if it clicks.
