Dagger Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 So far Del Rey has released four volumes of Eternal Sabbath, with more on the way. It's a newer manga by Fuyumi Soryo, the creator of Mars. At first the two series may seem completely different--Mars is a high school romance, whereas ES deals with genetic engineering, mind-reading and other sci-fi concepts--but they share a certain darkness. Soryo seems to love playing around with psychologically twisted characters. The main characters are Mine, a scientist; Shuro, a product of genetic engineering with an unusually long lifespan and the ability to read minds and control people; and Isaac, Shuro's twin/brother with the same abilities. Shuro doesn't particularly care about humans one way or the other, but Isaac wants revenge on those who created him. The scenes in which the two of them delve into human minds, forcing them to forget things, see frightening visions, etc., allow for a lot of surreal and striking imagery. I'd suggest this for anyone hungry for a psychological thriller type of story (as well as for fans of Fuyumi Soryo's other work). ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
