Summary: (taken from ANN) Taisuke Kanou is your average 16-year-old student. He has two close friends, Hirose and Megumi. Hirose has trouble with bullies, but Taisuke is always their to defend him, even though he just winds up getting beaten instead of Hirose. During class one day, Taisuke is hit by something unworldly and for that split second, he sees a vision of the universe. As he's walking home from school, he sees a girl fall and die if front of him, but his first thought is jealousy. He later finds out that the strange sensation that hit him is spreading throughout Japan. Those who are struck by it either commit suicide or "evolve," but the comrades who evolve usually have dark intentions for the rest of the world.
Personal Opinion: I'm glad I started reading this manga series. At first, it seems rather average, kinda typical. But by the time I got done reading the first volume, I thought it was pretty good. The more I read it, the more I liked. The art style is alright, took me a while to get used to, but I really like the story. I came to like some of the characters. Psycho policeman? Homicidal painter? By the third volume, it kind of loses it's suicidal theme that it was focusing on, but then that's where we see more action. So it still kept me interested.
