Review:

I was immediately drawn to Break of Dawn, thanks to the promise of being perfect for Cowboy Bebop fans. Who could resist that sort of temptation, right? That said, I loved this tale much less than I hoped.

Break of Dawn is a coming-of-age story in a far-flung future, so it is pretty cool, right? But the stakes are pretty high, with our main characters finding a secret that could save (or doom) humanity. Yikes.

My biggest problem with Break of Dawn is that I just had trouble…caring. I didn’t get into the story, which had a slow pace and never gave me a reason to care about any of the characters. In other words, it’s pretty dull.

That said, there’s no denying the potential of this one! So I’ve got to respect that, even if I wouldn’t read more of it, given the chance.

Highlights:
Sci-Fi Manga
Futuristic Story
Otherworld Experiences
Coming-Of-Age

Will I continue the series? No
