I thought the plot was really interesting and creative, but once I got started I don't think it was executed very well. I liked it, don't get me wrong, I just think it could have been better. There were moments that were interesting, there were moments that were boring and I DID skip a few chapters here and there, but overall i give it 7/10. The ending was also a let down. After all of that, I feel like the ending was just rushed. It summed everything up, but it just wasn't as great as it should have been. Well, I still reccomend it. It just took a lot of patience to get through some of it.

Unlike most people I don't really take issue with the ending. It's true it wasn't overly dramatic or suspenseful, but for what it was it worked very well, especially since it wrapped things up in both the future and the present. The only real thing I thought was dumb in the whole manga was



Otherwise it was all good.

If you are looking for originality and creativity;then this is not for you.
You will find that it is a mixture of Gantz and X-Men.
I am surprised for the fact that people are saying it is a good read.
GENERAL SHOUNEN ->> WEAK-TRAINING->>NEAR DEATH/FRIEND DYING->> POWER UP->> ENEMY FRIGHTENS->>STRONG ENEMY->>TRAINING.
You can enjoy it if you dont mind these facts.

This manga will seriously capture your attention and hold it! I literally read all of it in one night. Psyren is awesome- the length is great, it's not too long or short, and I thought that the ending was very satisfying. If you read this, you won't regret it!

Apart from the iffy ending (although it wasn't totally awful or anything), this manga was pretty awesome. Would have liked to see some development of certain aspects, but it hardly suffers without.

Loved it so much I read it in two days!

This manga is wonderful.. it is one of the few i have actually felt the need to write a review...

if i had to pick one fault with it .. i would say i didnt like the ending as much.. yeah it was probably the only one that would have worked but i wish the manga could have been a little longer... or at least a look into the new future....
i hope there will be a sequel to it or at least an anime
the art was really good too!!!

so i give this manga a 9.... [:

This is a really well done shounen action. The characters, the plot, the art--- everything was well balanced and near perfect.

After rereading this I decided it needs a sequel, since I want to see the characters to do more, not that it didn't end properly.

Seems like all loose ends were tied up, no gaping plothole, all questions are answered well before the final chapters. The final battle does feel a bit rushed, but ultimately, it ended properly.

Most of shounen mangas just never end. And those that do, tend to end 10 volumes too late because it dragged on too long. Psyren isn't too long, actually it almost seems too short. It has all the components of a good shounen, with action, evolution, time jumps, romance, etc. While there may be many things that could have been "better executed" in this manga, ultimately it provides the audience with a good, satisfying shounen manga reading. And if that's your cup of tea, then give it a shot.

Drawn so pretty!! Wheeee I finished this in 3 days!
It has its cliche battle moments (where characters 'blahblah' too much in the action, and others on the sidelines watching/cheering..) and the plot dragged a bit towards the middle, but for the most part the action scenes never bored and the pace/plot picks itself up for a surprisingly satisfying ending.
Character development is quite decent, imo, and that's also well done/drawn with the time traveling/skipping. Strong main character (FINALLY! not a coward or crybaby! banzai!! \^.^/) who grows up towards the end (and triumphs!). Finally a character who doesn't whine and bitch about 'taking a life' and recognizes the necessity of dirtying his own hands to 'protect.' I've had too much of the 'I don't want to kill the evil bad guy because killing is evil' BS. It's refreshing to see the main character with strong will to take a stand against the 'evil' and do what's needed to right a 'wrong.'

Emotion, romance, action.. I think all the elements were nicely paced and never felt like anything was amiss. Despite the farfetched scenarios, the characters/events behave in ways that make it, for the most part, believable (powers that grow with practice, powers have their limitations, blah blah). It has a nice balance of components of an exciting shounen manga, but at the same time that's what makes it blow over a little too easy and forgettable (lol in a good way).
The art is also very good.
Still, what a fun manga hehehehe I'd recommend this!!
