This manga made me feel weird.
I then realized I enjoyed it, it was just a fun exciting adventure with Sonic.
And it's been over 10 years since we had a story that was actually fun and exciting and truly embraced Sonic's roots, his true roots. Not some weird notion that Sonic is just repainted Micky Mouse and Green Hill, but the shit he actually had early on. Sonic was always weird and wildly different with each iteration.
Sonic teaming up with a kid who has an ancient sword feels like something the original Sonic writers would come up with, the same people who made Nights and all those Saturn titles.
I actually like a new Sonic thing for the first time in over a decade...
