I liked the 1st ep, and then checked out the manga. 12 volumes are out, and it's been serialized up to chapter 156, I think. It's weekly as well.

The anime seems to have more detail than the manga, at least for the characters. Unusual.

I really liked the manga. The only thing that was weird that every chapter started out with a half or totally nude pic of a female character from the story, while as the story itself rarely centers on stuff like that. It has sex and nudity, but no fanservice. It's also extremely gory and depressing. Lots and lots of people die, both important and non-important people.

I doubt the anime will follow the manga plot precisely. Too long, somewhat self-repeating, and some of the story twists usually aren't considered to work in anime. Probably will also be toned down in the gory and sex part.


In any case, from the 1st ep this seems to be the best new series so far, IMO. *thumbs up*
