XS Hybrid


Type: Manga
Status: Ongoing

Premise: The brain is essentially a biological computer, storing data, running systems and processing information; but what if this data could be accessed? What if this computer could be altered or reprogrammed? A hybrid is someone who has undergone a reprogramming of their brain creating a dormant personality with high combat ability that is completely separate from their own consciousness. Mina is a seemingly normal girl but as something deep inside of her begins to awaken she is targeted as a person of interest in the existence of hybrids. Hinchang has been friends with Mina since childhood, now wanting to protect her from those who have targeted her he is dragged into a world of hybrids that few have ever survived, but Mina is not the only one with something inside of her...

Thoughts: This is an interesting idea they have created here, were not a single character realy understands what is happening to and around them. This sometimes ends up being rather annoying as it rely hinders the pace of the manga but at the same time it gives it a realism that is refreshing.

Prose: Interesting ideas with a mysterious plot that unravels like an union, one layer at a time never letting you see what is at its core.

Cons: It can be painfully slow to read, I am on chapter 30 and still know virtually nothing.

-Notes: This manga may have been canceled, I'm not sure of this but it hasn't gotten a new chapter since I have read it (a fair time ago) and there is no news of when to expect another one.
