The plot is predictable, so it being short is really to its benefit. You don’t have to suffer through dozens of chapters knowing what’s coming. The art goes back and forth between well-drawn and questionable, especially when it comes to body parts. If the story were longer, it’d probably be able to fix the other issues I had with it (unlikeable primary characters, loosely tied together backstory, etc), but as it is, it’s alright and I’d read it again.
