Description
Taken from Solaris-svu:
Ikuru is a boy who doesn't have long to live. Growing up questioning the purpose of his life and the reason for his impending death, he's constantly confused and lonely. After learning that he doesn't have much time left, he requests that a special "girl" called a AGH-RMS (Artificial Genes Human Regenerated for Mental Support) be given to him. These people are genetically made so that they help heal and ease the mental burdens of the terminally ill.
This manga is cute, sad and ultimately a story about life, death and humanity.

this manga confused me at first. but as i read on.. it became heartbreaking. esp with all the tragedies and apocalypse thingy. but on the side they show two people and their love for each other, esp with the male lead being lonely and depressed for a long time.
my heart broke more with what happened to the guy, the lonely guy. but the ending gave me this warm feeling of happiness after how the world's situation has gone from BAD to WORSE. showing that there is Life and hope showing how Love overcomes many things. |

| fanservice problem by lynira on June 1st, 2010, 8:51am |
|
Eh, well this one started out looking interesting, the art is nice, but there in the first chapter, the girl just like, out of nowhere, rips off her shirt for absolutely no reason whatsoever... that's too much dumb fanservice for me. Expecting the rest of the series to contain more lameness of this kind, I dropped it. It was very disappointing, because at the beginning I thought this one might be good; I really wanted to read it. Curse you, fanservice, and your ability to ruin all good things. *sigh*
If at some point in the future I can be convinced that the fanservice crap was a one-time thing, I might finish series.

| one of the best by cubelet on December 18th, 2009, 12:55am |

This story when read from a perspective of thinking about what it means to be human is absolutely amazing. There's so much it says about humanity as a whole, and is really powerful. It easily draws your emotions out making you feel pity at all the right times, and love for the characters in it. it's extremely well written, and i plan on reading it again in the future.

| Death brings Life by Kamugin on May 2nd, 2009, 5:05pm |

This is an story about birth, life and death, filled with sorrow and love. I was really sad reading the last chapters but I realized that the end could be no different. The cycle of life is the same for all of us. Life couldn't exist if there is no death.
Ai-Ren is not perfect because there is some side plots unsatisfactory developed till the end and the whole plot about world crisis is superfluous, but this manga is a remarkable work. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou readers may notice some influence of Ashinano Hitoshi's masterpiece on Ai-Ren. Thank you Solaris-SVU staff for translating this one.

| A masterpiece by milque on January 27th, 2009, 10:57am |

At first I was skeptical about this series, what with the 'ecchi' tag in it, but since I was strongly recommended to read it, I gave it a go. And I'm glad that I did.
Ai-ren is truly a beautiful story that explores life and death, and ultimately- love. What made this manga great is the masterful stroy-telling by Tanaka Yutaka that compels readers into laughter as well as tears, moving across a range of emotions to portray loss, destruction, hope etc...
Also, despite it being labelled as 'ecchi', the nudity and ecchi parts are rendered beautifully, and add to the general atmosphere and tone of the manga.
Bottom-line: a must read!

This story made me cry alot,but of sadness AND happiness.The love between the 2 main characters is really beautiful and an example of true,unconditional love.The ending was really sad but was a ending that needed to be made.There is alot of joy in this series and it can be quite peaceful sometimes.I'd highly recommend it,if you think you can take the sadness at some times.This is most definitely the best manga I've ever read so far

| Sad, Touching, and Great manga by markdarkangel on October 15th, 2008, 6:48pm |

This manga.... very sad, touching, and can really put you through a myriad of emotions for the charaters. To be honest, this is not the type of manga i'm particulary into and out of sheer will i picked it up, and i'm glad i did.
This manga seriously left a impression on me, execellent job by Tanaka-sensei.

| Great Story by RideTheWalrus on August 24th, 2008, 10:38pm |

Spoiler (highlight to view) I would have liked it better if they left the ending open for interpretation or wrote an alternate ending. I like happy endings ;( - still this is a great story

| Must get seinen by Wolfii on June 7th, 2008, 5:16pm |

Really reccommend this. Think it's awesome, the slow progress, the feel of being in it, the fact it makes you continue reading and reading and reading... and then you complete it and you cry as a small child...
I have read it as scanlation... but going to buy it, even in Jap. It's well worth it.
