Trapped on Zarkass by Yan

by Leave a Comment

I am giving this book a three just because I can, and the fact that I think I might have missed something very important, so it is for the potential of the things.

Finally, it's here! As soon as I saw bits of art from the manga, and the trailer for the upcoming anime, I knew I had to add this series to my to-read list.
