I have been reading mangas for a long time, every since i could grab a copy of it when i was in middle school 10 years ago. When it comes to reading mangas for so long, i have become very picky and most mangas have lost me as they loop the stories around and around to extend the story and prolong it without things making sense. However, this is the first time a manga has left me speechless....really heartwrenched, horror, sad, and just happy at the same time. I have read the mangaka previous work of Basara and was just awesome sauce as this...but this is on a totally different scale. I can't compare as they are apples and oranges but it teases the conception of Basara's world being set later in the future, perhaps hundreds of years after the events of 7 seeds (i know its not true....let a girl dream that although the constant fighting things can be restored back to a semi normal structure with all those mutated animals and insects that constantly trying to kill them eventually die out...).

This manga plays so much on human emotions and human nature. there is no long soliquy about it there is no monologues, instead its whether discovering what happened to the "survivors" of the Ryugu station during the Ash Chapter in Volume 10 (which still has me crying to bits) or Takahiro's sad ass chapter where is the only survivor of his Winter group (i love you takahiro....sniff sniff).

I don't know how to describe it but Yumi Tamura is a story teller through and through and you feel compelled into not seeing people on flat sheets of paper (or on ur phone or tablet) you feel, understand, and empathize with their character and their situation and have no choice but to at least root for them in some way, shape, or form. The bad guys aren't misformed monsters or extreme carciatures of villians, they are human and act in the same way which is usually self preservation or self-sacrifice at times during serious incidents and disasters. the people acted in the most horrific ways and then there moments of such righteousness and kindness and love that you still have hope.

thanks so much volunteers and contributers in setting up this page, this manga been out for so long and i was shocked its been running for about 14 years and there is barely any type of noise around this manga as much. its a shame since its such a wonderful....screw that THE BEST manga i have read since i started reading 10 years ago. it took a long time to get it...but i am glad i found it and hope it has a happy ending...
