Welcome to every manga by this author! Just strap in and enjoy the pictures.

I am currently reading BioMega (I've read his other works) and I wonder how long did it take him to alter his drawing style for KoS. I mean, not only is the insane cross-hatching missing, and the main color being white instead of concrete-grey, but the whole thing feels very different.

Wait, a manga where the harem-meister picks the best girl? Well, color me surprised.

This just makes me wonder what a series with him at the art and setting helm and someone accomplished at making good characters and story would be like, then. Not knowing anything about his past works, or KoS before I started really, probably makes my post a much harsher look than those familiar with his history. Still, his aesthetic skill for all things nonhuman is blowing me away, that i am half reading to see what insane new Gauna evolution or mech upgrade they showcase next. I feel like a tag team of him and a good writer would be a formidable duo indeed!

Yeah, characters are not his focus, they are just a mean to present the settings, which are mostly focused on architecture porn, weird biological beings, and hard-ish sci-fi concepts. Those same concepts often do not allow for very nuanced characters, which is perfectly fine.

Sidonia is his first work with characters we're supposed to relate with and it shows. But, I wonder if it was his choice to use hackneyed characters because he doesn't feel at ease with more nuanced ones or if it was an editorial decision and he had to fill the tsundere, etc. quota.

Ok, that was an excellent chapter. I wonder how many years did Tanikaze sleep?

I wonder why Ochiai wants to destroy sidonia seems entirely unnecessary.

Because they are a threat, who know what kind of rear end-kicking stuff will they have in ten million years (And he is a petty fucker).

His stuff always feels like it was made by an alien lol. W/ the weird writing and the cool detailed backgrounds + comparatively poorly drawn people

Not an alien, a beetle.


Anyways, this may be the best ending (or even close to a good one) but he did tie up most plot threads and had a well-defined ending where you know what happened to the characters and what they'll do in the future. Fine with me!
