Battle Angel Alita Deluxe Edition

I am still really enjoying the world of Alita and her as a character, however this volume was maybe not quite as good on the story front as the first volume was. Although we do get a very brief clue into her past, most of it felt like a ‘side story' to the whole. Sure it drove her character growth some, but the ‘acting out teenager phase' thing felt a bit mainstream. I was hoping to explore the world more and the mystery behind Zalem...all I'm sure in good time for future volumes. Still there were interesting developments and the story was good enough to keep me flipping pages, so certainly by no means bad. Definitely up there in my list of manga favourites!
