Something New

Interesting premise. The artwork is fine, and there are some particularly nice scenes toward the end. Character design is nice. Narrative was a bit wordy and some scene transitions could've been smoother. The main character's only 7 - 8, so a few things are bit far-fetched. I think it's super fun that the setting is futuristic Ethiopia.

At first, this gives off typical shonen manga vibes, complete with a crazed villain who gets off to violence, but there's a recurring theme of God, theology, and morality that's different. I would definitely read the next volume/issue.
