animemiz24's review against another edition
I was able to read the first volume of this series, that also has an anime series. I have read Natsume Ono stories in the past, so to see the typical gentleman, who smokes and basically has a devil may care attitude is in the style of Ono. Jean Otus is a government inspector for an organization known as ACCA. He has lots of eyes looking at him, and rumors are piling up in this first volume, so fans of espionage, political intrigue, corporate secrets and looking beyond the public persona would be fans of this type of series. In this series, a theme I feel is that big brother is watching out for you is themed. Personally I truly enjoy the minimalistic style that Ono employs in drawing her characters. The first volume sets the scene for the rest of the series.

Of course I love this, it’s one of the only anime I liked enough to binge. Happy I finally got around to reading the manga, which I bought however many years ago

Great beginning to a slow-building political mystery. The characters are so charming especially Jean and his sister. Natsume Ono does it again!

A solid first volume in the series. The art is the biggest thing that drew me in, it's somewhat in the middle between manga and a comic - but it works really well for this story.
I've never read "political manga" (I don't think that's a genre) before and this was very interesting, there's very little action and a lot of conversation, but it's all quite clever.
Volume 1 has a lot of set up - character introductions and such, so hoping volume 2 maybe picks up a little bit.
