Art:10/10

The art is simply amazing. It took some time for me to get used to the characters faces but the scenery, whether this is the mountain or the city or just a background of people is done very well. Shinichi draws beautifully.

Enjoyment:10/10

I love sports manga. And although, like many others, The idea of manga about climbing seemed weird, I gave a chance to it and loved every moment. The art, the main character who I could very understand him, the story itself... I found myself hours reading it and finish in one go.

Overall:
I hope more people will read this work. If you love sports and drama, you need to give this manga a chance.
