    Just read the first couple chapters of this (instead of catching up on other stuff) and I have really enjoyed it. Feels like some kind of mix of Adventure Time, Star Tripper, and Tengoku Daimakyou all rolled into one.

      And with a dash of Made in Abyss too.

      This mangaka did an earlier series called Kyoukai Senjou no Limbo that was very good but sort of flew under the radar and ended up prematurely axed. This one thankfully got enough interest to keep going.

      He has an unusual talent for blending fluff and drama, so the story is sort of alternately cute and harrowing, and neatly balanced. And there are a bunch of intriguing mysteries surrounding this world and Yakone’s place in it that have slowly been revealed.

      I actually thought the series was winding down over the last few months - there have been some momentous events and answers to some very central questions - but with this most recent chapter, it looks more like it’s going to instead go into another entire arc. Which is fine by me.
