Manga and Comic Reviews

Leviathan vol. 2

In this volume, things get worse for the survivors on the titular ship.  Some kids are using the chaos to settle old scores, while others see it as their last chance to, uh… score before they die.  Most of them have split up into two camps with the upper-class Hilltop kids taking control of the […]
