Read the newest book of Alita, Battle Angle Alita Last Order Vol. 5

I can't really say why I bought the first book of the Battle Angel Alita series. But up to now I've read them all, the 9 volumes of the first series and the five of the Last Order series. I'm glad I don't know how many are still to come. At the end of book five a sixth volume is announced.
Why do I like especially this Battle Angel Alita series? Perhaps it is because of the way Alita sees and moves through the world. She's a bit of a melacholic, same as me. She is cute, mostly. Her life is a constant search. What she is searching for she doesn't really know. She comes closer to knowing but only inch by inch. It's a slow and painful way she has to go. On her way she encounters strange people. Some are human, others androids,(or cyborgs) humans reduced to their brains but outfitted with mechanic bodies often extremly powerful. Much of Alita's universe is reduced to fights. Fighting is a sport, even a way of life. There are modern times gladiators. Life doesn't count much. Fighting is done for money and glory and for survival. At places it's a very Darwinian cosmos, survival of the most ruthless and meanest more often than survival of the fittest. Alita is an android herself. She has died or nearly repeatedly perished but could be reconstructed again from a backup copy. Nevertheless she was able to retain her inner self her human self. I think I like Alita because she is so human. She has gone through many disappointments and all the time has never given up on herself. The world she lives in - as futuristic and stretched as it may seem at times - is in many ways an image of our world.
