Preliminary (26/74 eps)
In the historical and superstitious village called "Land", the birth of the twins is considered a bad omen. Due to this, the father of the twins is forced to bring one of them to the woods and leave it there. The story is told from the view of the remaining twin, 5-year old An, as she looks around the world she lives in and wonders where are all 50-years old villagers disappearing.
The art of the story is consistent, clean, and quite simple. It reminded me a lot of Yoshida's Banana Fish and Yasha.
The story has a promising idea and full of mystery elements. ...

Land is an award winning manga and for reasons that make a lot of sense, the incredible world and mystery put forth really draws the reader in a way that keeps you captivated in their system, with the rule of the land being nobody lives past the age of fifty and the presence of the 4 gods watching over the village keeping a system in place.

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (26/74 eps)
I've read 26 chapters as of now.
Whooo boy. This started out as an interesting story about an alternative fantasy world in a secluded village, ruled by strict gods and even stricter customs and traditions - and one very curious girl's journey to find out what lies beyond the mountains. If the story had continued that way, I would've probably given it a 10/10. It gave me heavy Dororo and To your eternity vibes.

However, I literally have no idea where this story is going anymore or what the author wants.
