Overwhelming amount of action. Such powerful sketch - it feels like watching the actions in real time. The story is not the best in Battle Angel series.

This review is for Volumes 1 to 9.
I became interested in reading the manga after watching the Alita: Battle Angel movie because the premise showed heaps of promise. This is definitely an action-packed read although the illustration is not exactly my type of art. I wanted to like this but it feels like the work is not polished. The manga pacing and execution totally threw me off. I found it hard to become grounded in the narrative and I felt like my bunch of ‘whys’ were not answered satisfactorily. We hardly get a taste of the surface of the world and the characters, and some things don’t make much sense.
I’m giving it a chance on the next volumes but I’m not that optimistic.
2.5 short stars out of 5

Barjack attacks Zalem, Alita battles her twin and her greatest opponent in a dream/simulation. It's never clear what's at stake.
My favorite character is the reporter that is also a serial killer. Never saw that coming.
