Zyword has a facinating story conscept, the problem I had with it though is that the pacing felt off. It felt like things would happen but would be so quick that it was a bit difficult to kind of understand. Despite this being a former member of CLAMP, there were some issues with some of the art, mainly it felt panels were to squished togeather sometimes. It was still nice to see her artstyle again when it came to the characters. Speaking of, the characters were pretty good too, though once again I felt some of their backstory felt unclear until the second chapter. Thebiggest issue besides the rushed feeling was that is ended on a cliffhanger. There is only one volume to this so I thought it would end in this manga. It's a bit dissappointing. If you really enjoy new fantasy worlds and are not too picky with the storyflow, I would recommend it. It wasn't terrible, but I feel the pacing could have been better.
