ES Vol. 1: Eternal Sabbath (ES: Eternal Sabbath)
Grade 10 Up–Eternal Sabbath is a genetically engineered human with the power to hack into peoples brains and reprogram them to his liking. Those who try to resist him suffer harsh mental and physical punishments. He may have finally met his match, though, in beautiful and brilliant scientist Mine. The protagonists are compelling and the melodramatic techno-thriller plot should interest fans of both the romance and science-fiction manga genres. Violent or sexual images drawn from dramatic angles move the story along at a rapid pace. With more action than dialogue, this volume perfectly illustrates mangas wide appeal among older teens.–Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NYCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
