Edit - Thoughts on the whole series after finishing it:
The best thing about this series is the art and characters. The story and world building are not great imo. There are a lot of cute moments between Teacher and Shiva in the first half of the series, then the messy plot-hole heavy world building takes over, things get depressing, and the ending was very unsatisfying for me. A lot of other reviewers seemed to share my feelings about it. A spoiler-free hint at why the ending was unsatisfying: it’s a bit sad and very vague / abstract. If you like that type of ending, then maybe you won’t mind.
