So, this manga is truly bizarre, and in the beginning it seems kinda random. The first two chapters are world building, and you really get the plot at chapter 3. I recommend everyone read through c3 before making up your mind about the series.
However, it's chapter 9 where you realize that no, this isn't episodic and random. For all the insane fantasy world, the plot has been planned out to the last detail, and it's hella good. It only gets better from there.
This is a great story for anyone who likes fantasy, cats, adventure, and yes, a bizarre world where almost anything could happen. There's humor, there are sweet moments, but there are also some dark moments as the main character in particular struggles with his faults. For all its insanity, it's grounded in very real emotions; this is not a light-hearted romp or shallow action manga. Give it a try -- you might like it.
