Battle Angel Alita, Vol. 4

The pacing in this volume kept me on the edge of my seat, but I wondered whether more focus on Alita's internal struggles was intentional or a challenge.

The detailed cityscapes and cybernetic lore made the setting vivid, but I’m curious whether this was planned from the start or developed organically through the series.

Her design feels both futuristic and expressive, and I wonder how much of that was influenced by traditional manga aesthetics versus the author's unique vision.
