    Thank you to NetGalley, Tsutomu Nihei, and Kodansha Comics for the E-ARC!

    I want to start by saying that the art style in this manga is absolutely stunning. The amount of detail in each panel is amazing. The character designs, locations, and even the shadings are beautiful.

    In this first volume, we're presented with three different villages. There's the village on top of the canopy, and two in the Snow Sea below, Atland and Valghia. The village on top of the canopy believed they were the only remaining survivors in this world, until Ririha, a girl from the Snow Sea, made her way up. Her city of Atland is under threat of extinction from Valghia. I can't wait to explore this world more in future volumes and see the differences in lifestyles between these different villages.

    This world seems very unique and I really enjoyed this first volume! I'll definitely be continuing with this series!
