Psycho Pass S01 aired during a time slot that was originally for niche or Josei anime and is a bit of a Shounen show (as all the canon manga are in Comic Garden/Jump SQ, the books are all Ligh Novels and a chibi version even exists) despit it looking like it is targeting adults. Braindead detectives, a nonsensical and inconsistent world, complete shit shows like the high school killing arc, Saturday morning cartoon villainy (the dog from MGS Rising shows up), inconsistent amounts of mostly off-screen violence and a cast filled with bland action men or men with vaginas made me drop it after 16 episodes. I kind off finish it when I speed read this identical manga adaptation. That version is a bit crammed due to the 6 vol. lenght but it does make time for teen corpse nudity and fan service, as restraint is for looser. I worst of all had to read for a year straight how "cerebral" and intelligent it is while quality sci-fi Seinen fare as Ghost in the Shell Arise - Nemuranai Me no Otoko Sleepless Eye (9/10) never crossed the border. But read my review of Psycho-Pass 2 (8/10) to find out that the franchise can be way better as S03 is a very different beast. Start there and move on to [Psycho Pass 3] while ignoring everything else that isn´t by Tow Ubukata. Dat first movie would be unwatchble if you took away the production values...

The first chapter is really good, I enjoyed it a lot, it's really well done. But I wanted to add:
I don't know about Mangaholic scanlation, but it seems that Imperial Scans has abandoned the project, they only did the first one... In Japan there're already 4 chapters, the 4th one released. I really hope a scan gets the project soon!

Most manga adaptations from anime usually turn out pretty bad, but so far i'm very impressed by this manga. The art is beautiful and the style is extremely close to amano akira's art, but you can see a few nice differences as well.
Reading the first chapter, it's running along the lines of the anime, but there are quite a lot of scenes added, so i believe the characters will be fleshed out a lot more.
Everything is great and i look forward to the chapters onwards! *7*)/

I am glad to see that Akane gets more screentime (pagetime?) in the manga. Also, there are more details and more background to see, since the manga is more "free" to do as it pleases than a strict 22-minute episode.

I wish it will continue.

The manga follows the story much better than the anime, adapts Amano's designs impeccably and has a coherent pacing. I'm not saying that the anime is inferior, but the manga adaptations has clear hints to follow. I can't wait to see on how it follows the same path as the anime !
