In the land of Ambeground, the only light is that which streams from the artificial sun, which produces enough light and heat for a small area to support life. Amberground is divided up into three caste areas Akatsuki, Yuusari, and Yodaka, the first of which is reserved for high ranking government officials, and the last of which is mostly populated by criminals and outcasts. While Akatsuki has enough light to be day, everywhere else is covered in perpetual night. The only communication left to the world is letter, which are carried by an elite cadre called the Letter Bees.
If you're wondering why an elite cadre is needed to carry mail, giant armored bugs called Gaichuu feed off the heart, which is highly similar to one's soul, leaving them a lifeless shell. The Letter Bees are the only people who really can travel Amberground and survive encounters with Gaichuu. They use special guns, called Shindanjuu, which allows the Bee to fire a shard of their own heart into a Gaichuu, which is the only thing that can kill one.
So if you're a fan of this, that's great. I'm hoping we can get a month by month discussion going if enough people are reading it as it comes out, and maybe if enough people are interested, we could do a Let's Watch for the second season which is coming out this fall.
I just read chapter 41 today, which is what sparked this.
[spoiler]So Gauche gets to do something, which will be awesome. Roda is out looking for Gauche, and we still don't know what Lloyd's up to.[/spoiler]
