i must read!~... even tho i downloaded this manga and its been on my hard drive for like a year... i havnt start readin it yet..... thus i started 2 days ago... its just awesome.... i got hooked onto it and keep on goin for 2 days straight (tho i did skip some time to play some game and for sleepin and eatin and u know... natural stuff what humans do...)
the thing that i do not like about the manga is that (spoiler) "friend" #2 (i forgot his name tho its mentioned in 21st century boy) told the world what hes up to... ummm wtf?.... if only he did do that the manga would pretty much be perfect.... also.... i still didnt see his face yet :/... and the manga is already ended.... also... what did they do to kanna to give her that power... and theres still many mysteries left yet to solve.. but overall... this manga is a must read... one of the best manga out there in the world...
ps. if you like this, i bet you will like dystopian books like Animal Farm, 1984 and Brave New World...

Downloaded the first volume once before, read the first chapter and was turned off by it. Got bored and decided to give it another chance. Finished the first volume.. than the second.. than the third... finished it in 2 days 
If you like George Orwell's "1984" or STYX's rock opera "Kilroy Was Here", you'll love this!
Don't miss it! when i first downloaded the 1st Vol., i checked the 1st page and decided to not to read.why? cause it didn't seem interesting. A month later, i decided to give it another try. I read the 1st chpt. then the whole 1st Vol and boy i was wrong!!! it is a master piece. Everything is great: the art, characters, plot and Everything!!!!. if you're looking for something special, Don't miss it.
Im the typical guy who reads manga, creates an account and never posts or lets anything hear from himself. Im the perfect example of a normal person with a manga leeching hobby. But this manga actually forced me to put this comment up, since I didnt want people to miss out on this. The plot starts casual, but keeps building up and suddenly at chapter 50 this guy had me. For the first time something which wasnt in real life made me burst out in excitement. There arent many manga like this out there, so dont miss out and join in.
this has been an excellent, intricate story that appears to have absolutely no intention of ever ending. it could be excellent. it could be terrible. theres no way to tell, because it ends without even the slightest bit of plot resolution.
grr.
grr.
I am at a loss of words. It truly is a masterpiece. If you are looking for a heroic story, this is it.
very good plot. interesting characters
hard to stop reading but flashbacks really long and boring
a little overrated manga

Dramatic and thrilling. Will have your spine tingling when you reach over to turn the page.
