I think the description is a bit misleading to what it's actually about - the suicide virus aspect quickly falls into the background. For the most part it's kids with superpowers chasing other people with superpowers, with fights whenever one group runs into each other.

Despite the concept being nowhere near as interesting as you'd think from reading the description, it's well executed.

just wonder if the power of the priest is pertrification when he touchs someone, so in chap 25 when the car exploded, he grabbed Yuta and nothing happened ? hah, shouldn't care about small stuff like that but it's really an awesome manga in my fave list

Wow, this is surprisingly awesome.

An OK story by an OK mangaka. Premise is the whole "alien-god-thing comes to take over the earth, and in doing so, gives humans supernatural powers." It was excusably executed.

One of my favorites, very well made with an awesome story and cool powers, great characters, and good settings. The enemies are unoriginal but its hard to come up with original ones these days.
and i really don't like that doctor that is obsessed with comrades or the fast girl. theyre assholes. but d2, badass till the end! T-T10/10

This manga is awesome! The problem is... I don't see how it goes from a suicidal dark theme to a typical save the princess plot, but it's really good.

This review will be updated as I get further into the series; at this point in time, I've only read what has been scanlated. I'll update this as Del Rey releases more volumes, though.

PLOT
EXTREMELY original. While it is also quite morbid, it is not overdone. (Translation: There is some carnage, but it's nothing like guts strewn over a two-page layout or anything.) It's fast-paced and twisting as well, so it's difficult to get bored of it even though the basic concept seems like it could be overdone. However, as it progresses, the plot does get a bit less original, but the way each plotline is strung out helps reduce the obviousness of this change.

CHARACTERS
Each character is nicely done, and there are no outstanding character clichés. I must give extra props to Kawashima for not over-doing the entire "ZOMG MY PAST WAS SO ANGST-RIDDEN1!11" cliché, for many authors find it difficult to not include such an event into a character's past. But, overall, each character has a rather simple backstory (can be either good or bad, whichever way you want to see it) and has engaging personality traits. They also come together to create humorous situations, which is always a plus.

ART
This is the only category I can really penalize the series on, and most of it is only personal preference. The only solid case against the artwork is that some of the details look shoddily done, and some features can be over-sized or under-sized depending on the panel (example: Yoko's lip size/lipstick, nose placement/size, etc). However, this only applies to the first volume in the series; the art gets much better as you get further into the story. So, in the end, it isn't a huge drawback as long as you can stick it out through the first few chapters.
