it’s honestly so hard for me to say how i feel about this first volume bc i have no idea where the story’s going and my feelings could shift drastically depending on if the things that bothered me get addressed later on (← endlessly frustrated with the basic concept of a series but keeps reading them anyway jdbfks) i’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt though; these kids seem so earnest, and i can def see the series going in a direction i really like.
