This book took me till over halfway through to be invested in it. Overall, an ok read, definitely opened a door to more research about The Troubles and the IRA as an American.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.

I tried. It’s a quick and very readable book. But the time travel and aliens keep being jarring to me to the point it is making me not want to continue because why the hell are there aliens in this book?

It was just kind of *there*. I understand not wanting to push your kid to come out when they’re clearly not ready but also, idk, just unsure about the premise of this manga and if this setup continues in other volumes I won’t be interested in reading them.
