Description
Akira Nikaido is a typical slacker high school student who thinks he has a normal life--until a mysterious man called Shirogane appears and tells him to meet him at the school that night. He is skeptical but goes anyway... and gets attacked by a shadow monster! Shirogane convinces him that the balance between the human world and the shadow world has been distorted, and that Akira must become a shin--a creature of the shadow world--in order to help restore the balance.

Funny, sweet, interesting, and a manga that will put you on the edge of your seat. The character interaction is very well-done and the facial expressions are really nice. Predictable at some times, but I don't mind that. LOVE the main character. He's a kuudere AND a tsundere. Also, the obvious shounen ai tint is to die for. So many bishies, so little time!
I didnt want to read this because I thought it was shounen-ai like the anime so i was like meh, but come to find out the manga isnt!!! I was always so mad that good plot and stuff are yaio and shounen-ai but im glad to find this isn't!
I just got into the series, but I'm curious as to why the Anime spead up the relationship between Shirogane and Akira. Even though they did that I love both the manga and anime equaly funny, interesting, and exciting. ( Though the manga has more and doesn't rush things like the Anime did.. They really need to make a second season of Monochrome. ).
i just wanna know...why is the anime shounen-ai and the manga is not??
i like the manga's art more than the anime..but the fact that the anime is shounen-ai makes it better than the manga...

I really like this manga and I can't wait for the anime. The art is good, but the guys tend to look a little like girls sometimes. Well, that's manga sometimes. I really like the charaters and all th humor. 
The art is nice enough, but what is really good is the humor of this manga, cracks me open everytime i read it. Though i still have no idea why its called monochrome factor.......
This is getting an anime, so I'd be interested to see what it's like. "A rebel without a cause who has been given the ultimate power"--sort of like Death Note? Or full of over-dramatic battles between miscellaneous foes?
