After the World War IV, the development of aircraft was banned by international organizations in Japan, and a rechargeable flying human "Hybrid" was secretly developed. The Hybrid, Hayato Hakoda, who escaped "disposal" by the military and was assigned to the civilian 108 (Hitomaru Hachi) Research Institute, was exposed to his ...
A bore
Post-World War 4, Japan has been barred by international bodies from operating aircraft. To get around this restriction, labs have created hybrid humans who can fly with anti-gravity devices. Hayato Hakoda is one such hybrid, whose first day at the 108 research lab has him sent on a mission to rescue a professor who is being hunted by the mysterious katana-wielding hybrid Ranmaru. From what I gather, this was originally a webcomic that was re-published as an ebook, and it shows.
The language level didn't seem very high from a grammar standpoint, and there are long stretches of action sequences with little-to-no text that made reading it pretty quick, but the dialogue that IS there can get exhausting to read with the density of kanji terms and made-up sci-fi language, most of which has no furigana (or non-matching furigana). As a self-published comic, the presentation is also non-standard and makes it more draining to read, with speech bubbles that are often crowded or have slightly-too-small text. It's in full colour and speech bubbles are colour-coded by character, which can aid in figuring out who's speaking, but it worsens the contrast with the already-hard-to-read text.
I did not have fun reading this. I barely knew what was going on, no one had a clear motivation or personality that I cared about, and the main character quickly got annoying by acting shocked every time a character turned out to be female. I assume there's some sort of plot, considering there's more books and also a spin-off/sequel(?) series, but based on this volume, I have no idea what it is and have no curiosity to find out.
