Sounds like another masterpiece. The idea is brilliant!
I am making a bold prophecy: this Manga will one day be animated.

It sounds a lot like Sandman. If you haven't read it yet you should before you pick this up.

Hey!, Delirium is more-or-less moe Laughing
But the Sandman is much less linear than just a story "about a war".

BTW, the Comic Book Defense Fund thing website has SIGNED copies of Sandman for "sale"!!
One of the very few times I wish I lived in the US - because shipping charges are a real killer Crying or Very sad

It also reads like a Masamune Shirow manga. Laughing
(Unlike CLAMP's, where pages and pages of art with minimal words.)

Well, Neil Gaiman is an ardent supporter of CBLDF, but $40 each?! Shocked

Because peace and tranquality is so overated in manga. Just joking, probably because war is a popular theme in manga.

Are these the same people are fans of stuff like X and Lawful Drug and have been CLAMP fans since before the term moe was coined (or at least enterer popular parlance)?

Oh so the Mangettes project ended being done after all, as no other news where released I thought it was scrapped.
