not a literary critic pair off I prefer not detailed because I do not would convince you. But frankly, from the first volumes I was captivated and I could not nose up before the last. Frankly a masterpiece. To give you an idea there is the animated version of (Mugen no Junin) which processes the first few volumes (3 I think). A dark and gloomy atmosphere, with many characters and all highly developed psychologically. No kind of nasty, with as human qualities, their faults, their weaknesses and strengths .... Finally, I can only advise you to buy it you will not be disappointed
