Yay, I can't wait to watch this, follow the talkback, and then see all the manga readers complain about how different it is from the manga and constantly bring up spoilers! So exciting!

So I read the premise and it seemed like very generic manga,as I had hard time believing Hiroshi Nagahama would direct this I checked out some of the opinions on this manga.Apparently it is quite disturbing and could be almost considered horror.I can not wait!!!

I haven't really heard of this manga before, but it actually sounds like something I could enjoy. I always welcome a little twisting around of the banalities of romance.

The director has an interesting pedigree. I guess it never occurred to me that Mushi-Shi and Detroit Metal City could have had the same director (I haven't see either, but know both by reputation) and he's had his fingers in some pretty neat stuff before (Revolutionary Girl Utena, Now and Then, Here and There, Cyberteam in Akihabara... wait, scratch that last one)

It's funny 'coz it's (depressingly) true.

Wow I never thought it would come a day where I saw a manga that 100% I'd liked to be animated. Usually the best of the best mangas are ignored. This should be interesting *evil smirk*

TYPO: That should be Volume 3 out in October from Vertical.




Awesome news! This manga is intense! Should make for a great anime, I just hope the don't water it down too much.

Wow .. now this is unexpected! I'm currently hanging on for the latest chapter of this as it's finished on a huge cliffhanger.

The interesting thing I found with this manga is that the actions of the protagonists actually had real consequences. It's a surprisingly disturbing manga.

So is it like School Days only more sophisticated and better executed?
