Description
For the sooty industrial town’s lads there’s only one point of light: The Light Club, a secret brotherhood they’ve organized in an abandoned factory. They’re on the verge of booting up their crowning achievement, a “thinking machine” fueled by lychee fruits. At the same time, the middle schoolers’ cooties-fearing solidarity is devolving into a downright National Socialist muck of murderous paranoia, perverse aestheticism, and (not always) suppressed homosexuality.

First chapter and I`m alrdy freaked. I can go through it but it`s just really disturbing. It was dark, beautiful and evil at the same time. Gore isn`t something I could easily take but there seems to be a deeper story behind it. At first it would seem a shallow personification of evil but maybe it would be more understandable soon. Gonna add more after i finish but so far, it`s what I think.

Edit: Just finished~
Oh God. Grisly amazing. It was gory that I had to turn away and scroll down real quick but it was beautiful. How Zera was obsessed with `beauty` and
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
how the betrayal started and ended. it was a fitting ending for a delusional and crazy kid `dictator` (mini-Hitler) <-but much worse

It was quite wonderful how a girl turned everything upside down, made their Litchi 'human' and the ending was simply blissful and haunting at the same time. It was one of the best psychological gore I`ve encountered so far. What made it so disturbing was that they were middle school kids and they could`ve used their talents for something more productive. But I guess it`s a reflection of human nature and the truths of this world. Simply amazing. Though without the nasty and sickening stuff, I guess this won`t be as 'guignol' as it is so a must read but not for the faint of heart.

i kindda agree with roxslide... it is kindda trying too hard to be evil.. not that i am saying that that is a bad thing.. it very entertaining to watch sadists and all but its weird at the same time..

the story... hmmm.. at first i didnt get it... they were like screaming german words <which were later translated>... but i get it after reading all the availabled chapters... i mean the time settuing was in the 80's right?? cause it this were to happen now... there is no way that these kids are gonna get away with this shit...

the characters.. they are freaks but they are not just plain freaks they all have their own different personalities and i liek that.. and also some background on how the club was formed and wjho the true leader is...

the yaoi thing and the acting like Jesus thing was... no comment... it actually made me laugh... freakish...

but i dont knwo if i find it pleasant.. <duh it guro.. how could it be plasant??> but i liike it though.. cant wait for the next chapter!!!

>edit<
so i finished this thing now..
after reading my comments before i remembered by initial impression of this, i thought that it was slightly freakish and funny xD but back then this was ongoing and though i wasnt into guro i am not one with a weak stomach and im kindda.. hella sadistic.. so saying that i moved on to reading the sequel - prequel, and damn it i gotta say that one was one hell of a mistake. you see when you see these boys when theyre all short wearing - innocent looking especially Tamiya whom i thought was really hot and delicious, you'll start feeling for them and rooting for them and i gotta say when the last page was turned my heart just dropped. damn it, it just dropped.
well, i gotta say i will now continue looking forward to the prequel scans, as for this one i gotta say nicely done. it was good, psychological, but yet.. i cant help but wish that.. but whatevers doesnt matter now. this one i'll remember for a long time. smile )

Yeah, it's disturbing and whatnot but to be honest, it's not THAT bad. the characters, plot and the motive behind it all kinda makes you skip over it. also as other people have mentioned, it appears it tries too hard to be evil. though i don't agree with that 100% (maybe 60% true), it makes it...less disturbing and helps you remember that this is a work of fiction and that disturbing quality of it is a channel for a deep message.

this is definitely interesting and poses the million year old question, what does it mean to be human? i'm not into gore and what not, but i was able to swallow this and i enjoyed it. My favorite character is Tamiya smile

I have to say, I think I'll be purchasing this from vertical now that I've read the first four chapters. I'm curious to know how it ends.

That said, no one in their right mind would read this manga. Which means I enjoyed it quite a bit, so far. The evil did feel a bit forced at times, but I still thought the concept was interesting. There's gore [not much of it yet, but still], nudity [male and female], a touch of yaoi [normally I hate that stuff, but this kind of situation is one of the few instances where I don't mind it] and some kind of machine thing. There's not a lot of backstory, and it's provided in the form of a flashback type thing. Mostly this interested me because I love Grand Guignol plays in general.

Furuya Usamaru is a pretty weird dude. I was kind of thinking Short Cuts was indicative of what he was about but... this and Innocents Shounen Juujigun are just out there. If you like the previously mentioned elements, by all means, give it a shot. It's not much of an investment at 1 volume.

I really wanted to enjoy this manga, but the terrible german spoiled it for me. I couldn't take this story serious because I was like WTFnone
Nazis are bad enough, but Pseudo-Nazis?!

I came to this series, after hearing many positive, in fact, raving reviews about it, but now that I've read the first two chapters, I'm surprised to find that I'm not that enthused about this series. I can't say that this hasn't caught my interest, I'm really hoping someone scanlates the rest of it, so I can find out how everything turns out, but....

Of course, "evil" is basically the theme of this manga, but I find that it's like... trying too hard... to be evil. It doesn't feel effortless and flawless, is basically what I'm saying. Like all these little details referencing the devil and such were sort of thrown in there just to make it seem more ungodly, IDK.

The gore didn't disappoint, though, and the characters, despite all being dickwads are all very likable and individual. It looks like my favorite character Tamiya's going to be in trouble, though /sobs.

Very nice art and well written! There are many references to historical figures and events. The mangaka has certainly done his history. smile

Okay, I'll admit it. I started this series because I realized the uniform of the guy on the cover is what the opening theme sequence of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was a tribute to. It wasn't a mistake. The art is beautiful and the crafts the best dark atmosphere I've seen in a manga. There are corrupt, evil undercurrents everywhere and in everyone. That said, this isn't a series for the faint of heart. There's a fair amount of gore and other nasty things. Unfortunately, I am the faint of heart. I highly suggest this series to people that are tougher than me - I'm afraid I can't handle it.
