My Rating:

Volumes: 1
My Rating:
Short Summary: This manga is filled with short stories about issues concerning teen such as suicide, rape, prostitution, etc.
My Comments: I thought it was cool to have a series focused on real life issues, but in the end, it just didn't hold my interest.
Short Summary: Teito is a former slave and amnesiac who was at a military academy until an incident put him in prison, and he escaped to a the church in the 7th District; while he quests for knowledge of his past, he becomes involved with the Gods, Verloren, and the 7 Ghosts.
My Comments: For some reason, the first volume felt hard to keep track of, not just the events but characters too. It doesn't make me want to read any more of it.
