What's good about this manga (imo, of course):
The art is incredibly impactful: you can very well see the key characters' emotions in any situation, which makes the story even more immersive than with just the very well-rounded character building, which is also cleverly put to use throughout the story.
It's also good when things are stale, simply portraying the underwolrd environment well enough to give out some pressure and keep the atmosphere tense.
Plot-wise, you can't easily guess what's going to happen in each new development, so it's quite exciting to read.
It's not stellar writing regardless, but a plot simply well done is good enough .
The bads:
The last chapter isn't exacly satisfying, as a certain character makes a move that's not explained and quite unusual, while every other character had his last choice of action clarified.
Why stray from the clear editorial line you had since the beginning, which is to explain the characters' unplanned and unpredictable moves by their backstory (or at least by giving some sort of plausible and perhaps convincing reason as to why they did things that way)?
Also, we don't really know what mc will be up to next, he could do anything and anything could happen.
Writing the last chapter like this isn't necessarily bad, it just a bit too vague to make me feel like the ending was really good, I feel more like there's stuff missing and I can't do anything about it.
Still, it was a really good read for me, an 8/10 it is.
Edit: I still feel like I should have gone into more details about why things were good and bad, but this is a comment section and nobody would care at some point.
Maybe I'll write a more complete review somewhere on the internet, for what it's worth anyway.
