What I want to talk about the most is the Blame Academy short story.
I recommend reading it if you are a big fan of Blame! as the subject matter that is presented in Blame Academy is enjoyed the most only after you had truly experienced Blame!

Other than that, there are a few other short stories in this volume and most of them, if not all, are taking place in the world of Blame!. There is story that is really gross and I really found it to be a turnoff (not that it shouldn't be read).

There are not many reasons for reading this. I do recommend ... it if you want some more info about the world of Blame!. I found the one about Silicon Life to be most interesting.

Also one more thing about Blame Academy. I find the relationships between characters in it to represent the ones in Blame! very well even if they are moe.

Would recommend

Story
The story is very realistic. It's great if you are looking for something more down to earth. I didn't relate with the themes of the story, but if you like gangs and old-school motorcycles, then I think you could have a really great time.

Art
The art is great. I don't think I have anything else to add.

Characters
Other than the main character, there was no one else to root for. It's also kind of fun watching Takashi become an asshole.

Enjoyment
... I enjoyed it despite not being into motorcycles or hang wars.

Overall
I recommend this series if you are into realistic stories but as for me... meh

Story
The story is not bad but is kind of boring and unoriginal. It feels like the story jumps to quick from one point to another. I do like the way it is presented, with little dialogue and exposition.

Characters
I don't have any problem with the characters. There is no background for the characters that is shown to the reader but it doesn't feel like the characters don't have one or they have a bad one.

Art
By far the best thing in Abara. The action scenes are a bit hard to understand sometimes but no other problems. I would recommend you reading this for the art only.

Enjoyment
I have ... enjoyed this but I think that is mostly because I love Blame!(another manga done by the same author)

Overall
A very fast read(15-20 minutes) so you don't lose much even if you end up not enjoying the story.
