I recommend it! At first, i thought it was a bit violent, but all this violence was/is quite common in real-world history, so...it's reasonably realistic (plus it contributes to the advancement of the story!)? It's interesting and the protagonists aren't boring to follow, but the art is particularly one of the strong points for me (their faces and eyes remind me of old cartoons!). I like stories with tough women and i also like stories in which the female protagonist begins the story in the deepest hierarchical pit~🗡️:nyoron:

Art is a blend of stylized and ultra detailed. Really reminds you of Studio Gaga except no one has any lips.

I'm not totally sold on some of the writing (It's not "bad" exactly but it needs more time), but holy shit the art is fucking STELLAR. It's worth reading for that alone.

Another "Strong female lead" that ironically revolves around a man, her rapist, and brutalising him, as a sadist or something.
Flip the genders, guy gets raped, kills rapist, is that the pinnacle of strength? No.

If you want a strong lead, have agent-suffering, easiest of this would be losing a fight, if, they were stronger they'd have won, if, they did X instead of Y they'd have won, growing and learning are enjoyable.
(Losing, with choices and chances not to, should generally haunt them and give reason to gain strength, as it's "all their fault", if they (can) blame someone else, it's a weaker reason)
(Losing against non-sentient/non-moral, like an alien bug or demon, give even better reason(Even more so "all their fault"))
(Why this is generally never given to women is because watching women suffer isn't enjoyable, nobody wants to hear a woman scream in pain, it's instinctually distressing and upsetting)

Mental fortitude is a strong point, to have someone with an iron-will or tough-skin, this isn't however being prideful or ruthless, they'll listen to select people and ignore others, concerned only where need be. If you want a psycho, their reasons should come from twisted logic not emotion, not "I'm gonna kill you because you hurt me" but "It's on me for getting hurt, it's on you for getting killed", this also gives agency in reasoning, emotions lack agency (basically)
(I love psycho characters, twisting situations is unpredictable and full of agency, it's great(Also why the character not being an omniscient narrator is great, to be wrong requires subjective agency, let a character be wrong, if they're always right then it's more a commentary of what happened, not, what's happening))

Focus/honesty is a strong point, to have a clear goal, and other characters being able to easily believe and rely on that character, good leader others can get behind.
(I didn't read to see if she's a leader, I take it she probably is)

?/10, art's good, I might read later, but ch1 isn't great, flipping genders doesn't make it better (Sometimes it helps, if it can't, then it's not the gender but the act)
