I think this manga don't suit to be a seinen. The story and style is more like shounen. But seinen or shounen, it's doesn't matter. This manga has inspired me a lot.. and, i personally think this manga is really cool. So 10 isn't to much.

The series seems to kick off fairly well, although with only 7 chapters scanlated as of the time this comment is being typed, perhaps its a bit too hasty to be making any judgments. For a seinen series, it certainly is light and idealistic. Hopefully it doesn't run out of steam halfway - series which have "episodic problems" like these tend to get dull midway through. Still, I'm rather hopeful that future chapters will deliver, and so I stand by my current rating, for the time being.

The first two chapters were interesting, so much that I regretted discovering this manga series so early... I'll have to wait a long time to see what happens.
It's a very unique concept, and something that can be done very well and can finally shake up the somewhat stale school life genre.

At least up until now (cap.7) this series is showing some very good potential. Even though the basic premise isn't that original (well, almost nothing is completely original these days, with so many works already done) the execution is very good and competent. An example of quality: the biggest positive point I see in this manga is something most of the other series out there lack: a smart protagonist.
Looking foward to more chapters.

The world isn't always consistent or deep, but the character interactions in down time make up for it

It can be frustrating at time, considering the implications of the Irises and how the society in-universe acts, that the author doesn't spend more time on it to show us further parts of it or keep element internally consistent.
Additionally, the drama is questionable written... Some characters get away with doing, frankly terrible things and even get to join the main friend group with no recourse. Characters act like morons to further the plot, and some stuff just flat-out doesn't make sense.
The one thing this series really has going for it is the slice of life and comedy in the downtime between arcs. Character interactions are very cute and frankly I would like the series a lot more if it just focused on that.
If I were to compare it to another series, it has very similar vibes to ReLIFE so I would recommend it if you like this, or vice versa.

Not bad, but there are things I find a bit questionable.
Since everybody has an Iris, I'm surprised the world isn't a more corrupt place. Everything feels too normal when people can have the ability to see lies, death omens, and true feelings. I expected the setting to be a bit more edgy but I guess I'm thinking too much into this.
Overall the series was interesting, other then their nose and egg head, I think the art is alright. It's a nice read.

I also feel this one has much promise but I do feel like this should not go as far as some manga like the Big three(Naruto, One Piece, Bleach). But also think that the Author will have to start working over time a bit too keep it from being redundant. The story is well done so far, and the whole Iris is a nice plot twist that gives each and every character you meet a little extra to them that helps drive the plot. The Iris ability is not very exaggerated or massive, but more subtle and gives everyone a different perspective when the author shares details of each of the characters so far. I also see much promise in the main hero since he does not have a Iris or he is an Iris Zero, but he still sees the world in a way that almost acts like its own special Iris that others do not see because they have a world they see different from everyone else because of their own Iris. It does help that the main hero is very smart and observant of his surroundings but still wants to keep a low profile since he is discriminated against.
I love the romance aspect. You put in the popular, innocent, pure, almost ideal female heroine that almost any guy wants, and you make her fall for the smart cool guy who does not want to be noticed. The conflict practically just appears. I am rooting for the heroine to take him finally even though them being together would mean he loses his low profile.
Overall the rating is lower, but I am expecting the author to expand and impress me with possibilities that I would not expect this story to have.

i don't know about you, but i liked this chapter. this concept is nothing too new, check out to aru majutsu no index for example, but it was a surprisingly nice read. There were one or two areas where it seemed like the pacing could have been done better, and the author could have improved, but most everything worked. I'm not going to attack the concept, cause my suspension of belief can hold up that far, but it's a fun little thing.
character was the ordinary high schooler syndrome except a bit emo, while your basic heroine was nice and bubbly and naive. i see one or two characters here or there that could interest me. If the story is allowed to go in more seinen or darker directions, there could be action there too. all in all, lots of potential.

At first, I really, really liked this manga. The characters and the whole 'iris' idea are really good and well developed. However, as it progresses, the manga seems to be turning into just a story about a high school romance. I have nothing against that but I was rather disappointed that this wonderful idea was starting to turn into a regular love story. The world that the author created seems so unique... Yet, the author is now focusing on the high school crushes rather than how the characters progress and deal with their unique abilities as well as not having one.
For me, I can distinctly see how this manga has turned from an exciting adventure with new worlds into just a shoujo manga. I really hope that, once this whole love thing has calmed down, it will return to being the manga that is was in the beginning.
I can see myself starting to avoid reading this if it continues to keep on focusing so much about the romance, but for those of you who like shoujo manga, I definitely think this manga is something to consider.
