Since the manag got an adaptation and I am up to date with the manga I wanted to leave my opinion on how it has improved. I have not read a lot of older maga so their could be one with a similar premise but of course it started out with a wimpy MC and a strong female supporting character which is cliche. But it keep growing and created a new lane for itself the MC outgrew whatever fears he had and new things are still being learnt about the story which keeps it interesting. I think it could finish as a solid 8 depending on how things go but I think it's worth the read. The art style is nice and the action is well done.
