Tokyo ESP


Type: Manga
Status: Ongoing

Premise: She thought she was hallucinating but there was someone their with her, after seeing a weird school of glowing fish flying through the sky Rinka fell through her second floor apartment. She doesn't quite understand it but she went straight through the floor (and her clothes) and ended up in the middle of her neighbors dinning room table. This strange person who saw the fish as well tels her that he had a similar experience but his power leaned towards teleportation, and by the way does she want to join forces and fight crime? The thing is not everyone who sees the fish are quite as altruistic as these two and that spells trouble for everyone.

Thoughts: This manga is by the same people who wrote Ga-Rei (see my review for more details) and you can really see it. This series is a strong power based adventure series with well defined rules, giving you a nice framework to work from and allowing for intelligent plot progression. 

Prose: Strong setting, nice action and well defined powers system.

Cons: For those who have read Ga-Rei you will recognize allot of familiar faces, they aren't the same people they just look identical!

-Notes: Give it some time to full out befor starting.

8/10          (Why is a spartan running a Yakuza gang?)
