I finally caught up on the story. Just been trying to finish some old books


Oh and I poke a little fun at a Shounen Jump manga in this chapter. Cookies for the person that figures out which manga I'm making a joke about. ^^
It's the comments about the flashbacks to a minute ago right? I am not sure which you are referring to, but I have seen it in several Shounen manga. Where something happens, then on the next page they are flashing back to show the same event with an explanation of what just happened.


I really like the development of Haruo. The flashbacks were done very well. Though I wish the teacher would have had something more to do with the breaking out of Haruo as a character, I just don't know how you could have wrote that. The way it happens is fine, just from all the flashbacks I would have thought he played a bigger role.

Still not a huge fan of Yuki, though he is much better than before. I think a big problem is he reminds me a little of Rand from the wheel of time series and I just never liked Rand as a character either. It’s weird though the more I think about it while writing this post, the less he feels like Rand. I don't know, maybe as the story goes on and he moves further away from his "weak" phase he will grow on me.

The whole direction of the story is awesome though. So much has happened but I still feel like you have barely scratched the surface of where this could go. The changing of Japan was brilliant (think I mentioned that before). The whole idea of people picking up powers has taken this story in a completely different direction than I ever thought of. There is a level of excitement, learning who has abilities and what they are. I am really looking forward to the next portion of the story.
