 A very good potential

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 description of this series may sound pretty generic (school setting, supernatural abilities, yadda yadda), but the implementation is what matters. The iris abilities themselves are interesting because though they're clearly supernatural powers they are still subtle in nature. The author has constructed a very interesting setting and explores how the emergence of these abilities affects society.

The main character (Toru) is very well done. At first glance he may seem like a stereotypical weak protagonist since he has no iris ability and is bullied for it, but he's actually quite clever and practical-minded. Sure he's no superpowered shounen hero but he's also far from a complete coward. The setting is presented with enough realism that you can't help but feel that his approach to dealing with his problems makes sense. He's the kind of protagonist you can really identify with rather than just shake your head at.

Koyuki does seem to suffer a bit from overly-naive-female-lead syndrome, though at least it's a mild case. Still, she is a genuinely good person in a world filled with prejudice. I suppose one character like that is fine.

 cute but serious

Wow, this manga has a lot of potential to be great. Despite of its cute and simple art, which I like, its story contains serious stuff. There is an inter human interaction philosophy behind each of the iris ability. Even though I don't know what is the meaning of word "philosophy" ,LOL. I really hope this manga will turn into an anime someday.

 Very unique concept

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.

 Enjoying what this has to offer

The premise is nothing new, but that doesn't mean its any less interesting and enjoyable.

The story's driving appeal is familiar to me because of its similarity to another manga which I very much enjoyed before, the prematurely cancelled manga Mx0 - where its magic instead of "esp powers" and with more ecchi, incidentally the protagonist also attends a school filled with ability users and has to rely on quick wit and his strong sense of justice to overcome his shortcomings.

I'm looking forward to how this story develops. My expectations for this series is fairly high, considering how much I enjoyed Mx0.

 Future of this manga

this manga really remember another one MxO
its the same concept (till now), and i really enjoyed =]

but idkn about the future...i have 2 ideas...

1-the autor will keep non-fighting manga. But for this he will need to be ultra smart and have thousands of really good ideas, if he doesnt this manga will be dropped cause this type of pace can be really booring...one good exemple of good story like this is natsume yuujinchou (it has a few fights, but mainly it flows peacefully).
2-the autor will sometime transfer this manga to an battle-shounen manga. In this case it will need less ideas, and will expand the uses of powers. If used the wrong way can be dropped like MxO (not that i agree with mxo being dropped).

I DID NOT TALK ABOUT HOW THE MANGA IS TILL NOW CAUSE THERE STILL FEW RELEASES.
so...there is not much to talk...but the future prospect of the manga is more wider..so i choose to talk about this

Updated: 18/01/2011
Well i think that the mangaka went with the first idea...
and like i thought...its brilliant =]
i really liked this few last chapters, even the side stories, which i normally dont even read.

 A nice read

I wouldn't call this series spectacular (to me, Planetes is the end all of end all, but this isn't event he same genre), but it certainly does a very good job of presenting an interesting world and characters that you can care, or come to care about. As said by a previous reviewer, the premise isn't anything new, but it isn't something that's used fairly often. Usually, it's the inverse, so reading something where everyone else is special, and the main character isn't (and by extension is), is very refreshing. I also like the fact that the first chapter hints at a possible love triangle a bit of future darkness. While I generally dislike convoluted romantic plots, I'm optimistic this one will take a much more slice of life approach to things.

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.
