Review after reading the first volume. Story is very slow paced with lots of character development and interaction. A lot of the inspiration is clearly taken from from the original series and official spin offs. However, it also all has some original flare to it and doesn't feel like I'm just reading about an episode I have already watched, most of the time. I've enjoyed the slow pace, but I am hopeful after reading that bloody chapter 1 of volume 2 that this one will be a lot faster paced since we are now very familiar with the characters around the MC. Though at the same time I hope we don't lose the enjoyable character interactions and deep themes and plots that we have all come to love. I don't want this to become a one dimensional fighting novel with an MC that only thinks with his fists and his lower half, after all.
