Description
This is the story of a very smart student called Hirama Ren who is used to always getting the top results in his school, and is the chairman of the student's council. One day, he walks past a group of bullies and asks them to leave--and because of that, they decide to teach him a lesson. They decide to beat up a couple of guys and they reported it to the teachers, blaming him.
Hirama becomes enraged by it and so he decides to attain some power that could allow him to change the world to a world that he wanted; one without such pathetic people.
Coincidentally, his vice-chairperson called him and asked if he was fine with her inviting a hypnotist for some event at school to hype up the school population. Thinking that the ability of hypnotism is just what he was looking for, he agrees to it. During the "trial" test of the hypnotist's ability, he set up some plan and later on used it to test if hypnosis was able to hypnotise people who were avoiding it. With his new found knowledge, how will Hirama use this new power to reshape the world?

| Better than Death Note by eScapLaY on October 20th, 2009, 1:12am |
|
I like this better than Death Note. No surreal death gods and a magic book ~
The art is good, the plot around hypnotism is interesting as well, the characters are interesting enough to hope something happens.
There arent many mangas like Death Note so be happy that theres another one as good.

obviously a copy of death note. same character set ups, same ideas, same everything! I mean, the main character just looks like bad Light fanart. This shown next to Death Note is worse than Blazer Drive next to Naruto. Its just a bad copy with the same ideas but worse art.
other than the blatant unoriginality, the begining was slightly confusing, and it had me skimming. I didnt like the main character very much either. For a genius, he didnt seem to smart. It's probably bad to have a flawed protagonist that people dont like, but that's just my opinion.
im in no way a death note fangirl (honestly i stopped halfway through. ill finish it eventually) but the characters and situtations are way too simmilar. the main character is just an extreme unrealistic version of light: super genius, make world better through force/frowned upon means(you have to admit, they both want to "cleanse the world of its trash"), same hair, etc, etc- but with an unrealistically emphasized and already-developed 'attitude'(however you would describe it, his evil justice-ness!). i guess this protagonist doesnt go for the word "justice" but he does strive to make the world "better" because he sees it as an awful thing right now.
once that long hair hypnotists guy came in on the side of the police, he is easily recognizeable as the L figure, complete with an odd fashion style (not the same as L's, but equally odd). This is also very apparent in their quiet mini rivalry durring the first hypnotism demonstration performed by the hypnotist guy.
two unconventional protagonists on opposite sides of the law but both on the side of "good" (in their minds) in a battle of wits with the main protagonist having unnatural powers. other than it being much much more fast paced, this is screaming death note.
the only points i think it deserves it the thought needed to be put into the complications of "realistic" hypnotism.

| Against Comel by LThe1st on October 14th, 2009, 5:07pm |

Spoiler (highlight to view) I disagree with Comel. I think it's a cool idea, as hypnosis is a real thing. It helps people connect with the series. Also, to those people who say it's an immitation of Death note, I agree. BUT, I think that it's a good thing. Death note was too short, (By that I mean L died to fast) so the next best thing to reading more, is reading an immatation.

| It's different. by Harimau on September 9th, 2009, 4:00am |
|
| Yes it was obviously inspired by Death Note and Code Geass, both series I loved, but it is hardly a 'cheap imitation'. That's just an immature comment from Death Note and Code Geass fanboys (or fangirls). No media should be judged *because of* the media that preceded it. The story's different, obviously. Spoiler (highlight to view) The main character's ultimate goal is different - he wants to eliminate the weakness in men's hearts, not merely suppress the 'evil' of society, he wants to change mankind from the ground up; the methods are different - hypnosis, he uses hypnotic suggestion not only to achieve objectives as in Geass, but to change the people themselves; and the exploration of the human mentality is deeper. I believe that it's a manga that stands tall on its own.

| Good for a quick read, i'm only halfway through but from what Ive seen so far, he skips the improve the world seen at the beginning of DN and CG, hopefully he dies at the end. If he doesnt I will find a paper copy of this and burn it page by copycat page. |

| using Hypnotize too conquer the world??? by comel on August 11th, 2009, 5:18am |

I still read few chapters.... And I love psychology, thriller, dark manga.
Quote from recca_cool However, as a psychological/thriller type of manga, cheap imitation won't get you anywhere. it is so much like death note (genius student, sick of the world, wants to make his own utopia, has special powers, etc.). And I wish the idea was so cool, but hypnotize? Come on...
I agree too...
And the artwork not really special, it is good but somehow don't impress me.
I'm not really into this manga.

| Cheap immitation by recca_cool on August 3rd, 2009, 11:18pm |
|
If it was a pure shounen manga we were talking about (action like Naruto, sports like Wild Hearts) it would have been easy to imitate, change few things and capture audience by so-called new story.
However, as a psychological/thriller type of manga, cheap imitation won't get you anywhere. it is so much like death note (genius student, sick of the world, wants to make his own utopia, has special powers, etc.). And I wish the idea was so cool, but hypnotize? Come on...
Over all.. if you don't mind reading something similar to death note, then go for it, otherwise spare yourself going through several chapters & being disappointed at the end.

| Great! by mastertek on June 19th, 2009, 10:29am |

| I am always a big fan of Death Note style series because these series are actually the voice of a lot of people in the world. This story doesn't have any collision with Death Note and has a great plot of its own. We know one more way to change the world! |

| Huh? by LadyKnight on November 1st, 2008, 2:30pm |
|
| At first I was interested in the series when I first saw a couple of pages for ch01. Then as I read on and read the summary, the eerily similar plot just made my brows twitch. Not just that, the character looks like Light/Kira too! Reading the first chapter didn't convince me enough about this series... Maybe if it was a different setting and motive or goal, it might have been different. Now, it just reminds me too much of DN. |
