| Alive!
After finally getting the manga reader to work on my DS, I am getting through about 20 chapters of manga a day at work. Scary.
So I have started raiding stoptazmo and downloading random things to keep my interest.
The latest one I grabbed was called "ALIVE!". It is set in present times, and the world is subjected to something called the "suicide virus". People are dying worldwide, and at first cults are blamed. But the truth is much more interesting.
There is a lot of gore, but the animation style is done with such fluidity, that the panes really tell the story and the violence pales in comparison. Superb artwork, intreguing characters, and the promise of a lot more to come have got me chomping at the bit to read more.
If you liked Gantz, I would highly recommend this.
Anyone else read it?
