𝐍𝐎𝐓 recommended! Slight story spoiler so watch out. I decided to take a look at this manga because of the author. He worked on "Kurokouchi" and I hoped it would turn out interesting as well. The other two reviews mentioned the art, which was highly rated. I would definitely say the drawing style is the high point of this manga. The rest however did not interest me in the slightest. My main issue is the story / characters. There's very little character development, if any at all. There's this one character who goes from wimp who's scared of everything to super killer in just a few pages. It'sextremely fast, it feels really unrealistic.

Same goes for the protagonists or any side character. Everything happens way too fast, with very little context. The very best trained military teams in the world can lose in 2 min. Why even hype them up then? All the confrontations are one sided. There's very little suspense, almost no weight to the fights as you can guess the results before the battles even start.

Another issue is the author thought he was writing some Hollywood style Jason Bourne movie. We go from Romania to Jason, to Turkey to China, to Korea to Mongolia without any transition. It goes on an on, we get introduced to some politician, some dude character and boom! Move on the the next ones, repeat. We are just witnessing the plot, but instead of being captivating the book feels boring in its predictable plot.

The lack of character development creates a lack of attachment. Why should I care about this guy or that one?

Another problem I have is how some characters are written, totally unrealistic. Female protag is not only an archeology expert, she's also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Krav Maga badass who can defeat the a CIA ! I mean c'mon, it's tropey to death. The make hero is WANTED by several countries and Europol but he just goes in a book shop and gets new passports, like how did the guy even get the biochip and the laser markings? Then he takes the plane but no airport flags him because, hey he's got a new ID! His huge serrated knife, no problem of course he can travel with it!

Characters with no cars travel hundreds of kilometers , unexplained. Where does the money come from? How does the protag go everywhere without a job? Unexplained.
I won't comment on the villain as I found him to be non-appealing.

Too many plotholes, unrealistic characters, no character development, the villain is just not interesting either. Exposure, the Manga.
Not recommended.
