Side notes: It was kinda surprising to notice that the main story is untranslated still but it scores better than this spin-off on MAL but on Baka the situation is otherway round (though it's impossible to compare scores on Baka when there is no more than one voter). Anyhow this is one of my favorite Gundam series (Iron Blooded Orphans) and probably only series that I'm currently reading from this franchise. I've not yet seen the main story so my only door opening is this spin-off.^-^

Art is quite good and story is pretty intense from the start so on those aspects no complains. Still it takes a bit time to get to know the charas and say more about the plot so I'll wait how things turn out to be. Now there is three chapters translated so there is chance to get started but need to wait more to be published.^-^
