Bateribaisu – Ningen Denchi to Suna no Kyozou

A manga about a world were humans can use weapons powered by their own electric power. Rebel forces fight against nobles who imprison them and treat them as human cattle.

We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.

This is a decent sci-fi series. The art work is handled by K Akagishi who also does Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi, which I love. Akagishi’s characters have a very angular look to them that reminds me of Yowamushi Pedal‘s Wataru Watanabe. There’s some great looking action set pieces that make great use of his kinetic art style. I really liked all overall designs that help sell this kinda mediocre story about 2 rebels who are actually spies for the nobles. When the spies are outed they are also cast out from nobility and left for dead but one of them is able to power a colossal robot and fight back.

I’m interested in reading more because I just enjoy K Akagishi‘s work so much.
