14 hours in and simply can’t take any more of the bungling Esper character. As a secondary character in the Black Ocean, and playing counterpoint to Mort, she was tolerable. Dare I say even required. With the Mercy for hire omnibus…. Esper is downright annoying as $%$#%. oh no… we can hurt anyone…. that would be wrong. So in stead she takes on the hardships and plays at Martyrdom. Simply boring. The best bits were the cameos by the old Mobius crew. Perhaps the last 68 hours get better, at this rate I don’t see how. oh… yes, almost forgot. Every female character introduced in the series seems to want to bed Esper. So broken record.
