So, a dystopian world, super tech that can summon monsters from another dimension. I do like Tezuka saving those soil cultivator guys. And its pratical too, since questioning them leads to the cult he has a grudge against.

It's nice seeing Nihei's influence spread.
They draw influence from Blame, but miss what made it so great, which was its ability to shut up and let the atmosphere breathe.

It's truly a shame that authors are so rushed to establish and maintain a fickle audience. Lacking confidence, they shove all the exposition and worldbuilding into dialogue in the first chapter and it's physically painful. Terrified to lose everyone's interest if they leave things unexplained for one second. But that lack of confidence will be their undoing. A masterpiece requires the balls to put the audience on hold and pace your story. If you don't have that, and you're not selling sex or adolescent wish fulfillment, you are done. That's always been true, but it's more cutthroat than ever.

I guarantee this will be axed.
