Story and Characters
The story is about Akiba Rouysuke, an experiment human clone, who contain the gene ES. This gene grants the user immunity to all diseases and can live up to 200 years. Also the user has special ability, which enable him to enter human minds, see their inner thoughts, and manipulate them. Although there are special humans, the reason why they are special is not revealed, who can resist this power to a certain degree. One of them is Mine Kujo. A neurological specialist from a physiology research institute from the U.S. Extremely intelligent,she may be one of the most up to earth intelligent characters in the manga i have read. She is very analytical with everything and everyone, one of the reason she fail at humans relationships. Both of them with another person starts a war with another ES experiment clone, who unlike Akiba, is evil and wants destruction. The characters are very complex and the development is very good. The author deals with a lot of problems in today society raising some interesting questions about humanity. Some of the question raised are: What is Love? What is the difference between Love and liking or spoiling someone? What is to be a mother? Does giving birth to a child automatically makes you a mother? Is it possible not to love your child? In an if scenario about clones with powers that danger humanity, how will humanity react?
It makes you think, it makes you wonder. It leaves you with questions after you finish it.
Art:
Art is really good, it focuses a lot on details, which i really like in a manga.
Enjoyment:
Well, this depends on how much you like psychologically themes. There are a lot of discussions here, mostly about science. It may be a little tiring for someone not used with these topics. It has some metaphysics topics too. I personally enjoyed it a lot.
Overall:
This manga is a treasure in this planet. Close to a masterpiece but in my opinion not really achieving it. Nonetheless it is indeed a must read manga.
