7.7/10 My thoughts for this manga can be summed up with one phrase: “I have absolutely no idea what’s going on, but I love it.” Partly due to the inconsistent translation releases and partly due to a rather “jumpy” plot — multiple perspective switches and a lot of information/characters being introduced to be remembered at once — it’s hard to remember what’s going on at times. However, even with a sense of loss, all things revert back to fun; this manga is simply fun — from the silly humor or characters in a rather dark environment. With the gender-bent premise and the more serious tone of the storywith war, death, etc., this manga should not work as good as it does, but it simply does. There’s enough comedy here and there to lighten the mood, but the story is kept afloat by small instances of seriousness.

Though this manga suffers greatly from a clear and focused plot, the characters and humor juxtaposed with a grim world makes this manga worth the read.
