Badass Japanese woman kicking ass and taking shit from no one. 👍🏻

I really liked this comic. It developed Red character. And I liked their relationship with Owen. Neither of them is perfect but they try to make do.

I hope Shift gets lost somewhere really far away.

I really don't like any of the characters in this...Satomi is...fine... but her boyfriend is horrible and I don't understand why she stays with him. It's just so dramatic. The art is okay, some bits are weirdly proportioned to the point it looks bad. Particularly Satomi's hands, which I think it purposeful? but there's one panel before she becomes red that they're huge in. It doesn't look good. Sometimes the plot jumps around in an illogical manner. Just jumping to scenes with no transition. The timeline is really confusing. Just overall not great. Could have done without it. The best part was already part of Radiant Black so I don't feel like the series gained much.
