Grey is a manga with post-apocalyptic setting, which follows the life of our protagonist, Grey, after he joins the military. The manga vaguely portrays the current caste system the surviving world is based of, and mostly focuses on the missions of Grey, along with his fellow troopers.

Turned out to be a rather fun manga which could have easily been an 8/10 or higher with a few tweaks.
The main draw here is the art. It is dated and shows its age, but often in ways that are enjoyable. The designs are unique, characters are identifiable from one another, and it has a fun style to it.
