A very interesting manga that I picked up while at Logan Airport. It deals with a 'family' of psychic warriors, Shuuichi, Sumire, and Katsumi Asakawa. Having escaped from the ECS' ward branch some time ago, the three just want some peace. That fragile peace is broken when agents from LEED, a rival organization of the ECS that also deals with the EPS, or those gifted with psychic powers, tries to kidnap them. Shuuichi promptly kills them, and the 3 go on the run.

I didn't really expcect much from this- after all, we've all seen this scenario before, right? - but not only are the main characters interesting, but there are plots around every turn. It is very dark, and Sumire is presented as a realistic anti - hero, considering the hstory he and his family has. The best part is, Volume 2 is going to be releashed in the next few months (it says Summer 2006 in the preview), and from advance reviews that I have read, the quality dosen't go down a notch at all. A good piick for my first manga, I must.

So, ZERO: The Beginning of the Coffin, from Infinity Studios. I highly advise you pick it up at the nearest Borders ASAP. ;-)
