This is one of those "the book was better" situations. I've been reading the manga since around 2020 and i was very hyped for this to come out. Sadly, this anime does not do justice to it's counterpart manga ( I can't speak to the LN) The manga is so much better in every way. The overall story beats, character growth, pacing, and most obvious the art style. All I could think while watching this was "how low was the budget for this?!" It's very unfortunate, but I must say, I do not reccomend you watch this anime. Or at least you should go read the first few chapters and the the first episode to compare.
