beautifully done. but also oddly very similar to Apollo's Song in its dissection of a murderous sociopathic personality. and Apollo's Song is also a much more complex and nuanced narrative; this one is a much more linear storyline. still, the way the character's deterioration over time corresponds to the deterioration of the chemical that corrupted him is compelling and memorable: destruction itself seems to have a half life of its own..

Brilliant! This book brought together a range of themes, from government control and censorship, to revenge and murder. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in intellectually stimulating manga or graphic novels. Dark, compelling and thoroughly enjoyable. ( )
