The concept and lore isn't too bad... but it's boring. I can't have affection for any characters and I don't care what happens to them. Something is missing for making a good story that is actually enjoyable. The story is build like a classic shônen but that's not really the problem here. It's boring and in the same time it's too rush, characters change their mind/make decisions too quickly and there's no time to set the mood/the ambience.

I have the feeling that this manga is a shônen who doesn't want to be one. It tries to be more "adult", more "seinen-like" but it fails and ... we have this result.

Beside, the artstyle is good, it works well with the story. And maybe some people can enjoy this manga, but I don't think it will be for the characters or even the story in itself but more for the setup.

It was more interesting than entertaining. I almost drop it but I'm still glad I didn't. I like the setting but I don't know, it lack something to be really entertaining/plaising to read. But for a first serialization it's not that bad. The drawing isn't really good but I was used to it pretty fast.

I think it lacks of something in the characters, I feel nothing for any of them but I can't tell why, maybe everything was too quick ? Sadly, I think it was better in the very end, it was over when I was thinking "it's starting to be better !", the ... end was pretty rushed IMO.

But it's still only 36 chapters, so I'd say that I still would recommend it. Overall it was fine.

I think it's not for everyone. I pretty like this specials, it was a warm feeling and I was happy to see again some characters and more background. But the 9 first episodes are really bonuses, without battle and most episodes are 2 story, without link between them.

But if you want to see the futur season 2, you have to see the last episode, it's the direct sequel of the season 2, so even if you don't like chill OAV, make sure to watch the last episode !

Small spoilers :
Some stories you can watch in these specials : the past of Ouken, Despa and Desha ... (my favorite story), some background with Miranjo or Bosse etc...
