Battle Angel Alita, Vol. 5

The detailed dystopian setting feels so immersive—I'm curious whether it was inspired by real-world tech fears or purely imagined. Did the author draw from specific sci-fi influences?

Her struggles and growth felt so raw and real, making me wonder how much of her emotional arc was planned versus developed during the writing process.

The detailed illustrations and dynamic action scenes really bring the story to life. I’d love to know if the artist had specific techniques or inspirations behind this visual approach.
