Sold To The Rouge Alpha

Listen, this is probably my all-time favorite manga. You can't just breeze through a chapter and expect everything to make sense while your lazy brain takes it easy, especially when Eiji Otsuka has worked so hard to craft such an intricate, DEEP, and detailed story. This narrative challenges our understanding of humanity, questions our social structures, and probes our mentalities. If you're only into manga for casual entertainment, this isn't the one for you. But if you're ready for an emotional rollercoaster, jump on board—it's time to engage that brain of yours.

Overall 8/10  
I rated it realistically because I know many people don't appreciate psychological or philosophical manga. But seriously, everyone needs to stop being so fragile here on MAL.

Story 8/10  
Nothing is flawless. We have a trans woman, a dwarf, a prostitute, a blind and crippled woman, an abused intern, a deformed detective, and even a dog in the cast. Now picture them working together. And then imagine their deaths, because how could you possibly write a compelling story without some sacrifices?

Art 7/10  
This is 1999 art, and I'm not complaining too much. The details are fantastic and realistic. Characters don't look perfect, and we can thank Yuu Kinutani for that.

Character 8/10  
The fact that the characters aren't perfect and come with clear flaws is a major plus. The protagonist's flaw isn't something trivial like "oh no, I'm an emotional wreck"—nope, LEVIATHAN doesn't do things lightly. Their flaws are embarrassing and cringe-worthy, making them feel real. Thank goodness there are no high school kids here; otherwise, I might have lost it.

Enjoyment 7/10  
Personally, I enjoyed every bit of this manga, but I gave it a 7 because it made me cry. Yes, I'm weak, and I own that.

Thanks for the recommendation..

All over this site it has been talked about. Where the site houses everything was attacked and backup servers wiped as well from like 6/9 months ago I believe.

During this time on a few novels which I will consider most admin-sama lost privileges on the paid website we don’t speak of. Because of this they don’t get the privileged releases.

They are also uploading missing chapters and fixing all novels.

I would just wait until it uploads or go to another aggregate site. I’m just waiting.

Miss some of the discussions I have had with people over the months 😢

You are correct, it ended at around 2930 or something. And that's how far I should have read. I dropped it around 3300 or something. The only reason I have read this far is because I listened it while doing college work. It's not that complicated so doesn't need that much brain power to process.

Damn I hate the mc. At first he was a pretty good mc but now everything he does raises my frustration just that much more.

If bater ever took in a student would they call him Master Bater?
