review 1: At times this is so mind-bending that it doesn't hurt to keep a firm grip throughout on at least one or two of the major plot elements. Past the halfway point in this volume, it's funny to see our practically emotionless anchor, Zoichi Kanoe, react to all the insane things that are happening with mere statements, and it's up to his AI companion, Fuyu, to show emotion. (There is one moment where Zoichi thinks he's lost Fuyu and he screams her name, so perhaps he's not Spock-level yet. He's still the coolest synthetic human going, but that's another matter.)Overall, this is as incredible as the first three volumes, and managed to widen my eyes even more with the developments in the last few chapters. Can't wait to get the last two volumes in my hands ... moresoon.
review 2: This manga is the usual Nihei stuff, some Killy-like badass character is on a mission and kills monsters along the way. You can expect action, violence, blood, decapitations, etc. The drawings are beautiful as usual. The whole world seems to be set in the same as Blame but before Blame and Noise. Nihei introduces interesting characters, new monsters and a new storyline. But, and there is a big but, the manga would have been better if it would have been a book or two longer. The manga is good up until the fourth volume and then you have the feeling Nihei is on hyper speed and he goes so fast introducing a new world and new characters, and reintroduces the old ones, by the sixth book we're short of breath anf it ends so quickly we wonder if there is going to be more volumes or a sequel but there won't be any. Nihei should have slowed down and make the serie a bit longer so we can enjoy it better and that we are less confused. Still, it's a great read, not as good as Blame but definitively better than Noise or Abbara. less
