My first manga review. I have been quite surprised about the the whole Freezing story thus far. I began with the anime originally and since it was not going to be continued I decided to read the manga.
the story does go to many different areas but so far it hasn't lost me yet. I enjoy Satellizer and Kuzuya's growing relationship and also the other characters growth as well. The art is fantastic and the story is dark. Freezing reminds me more of Neon Genesis Evangelion without the bio mecha. Probably why I enjoy Freezing.
Over all I am still reading it and will continue to do ... so. It's hard to put it down.

This manga is currently in hiatus for the longest time. The author ain't gonna finish this anytime soon.

- Very ecchi, tons of partial nudity
- Tons of suffering, victims of circumstances everywhere
- Tons of fetishes
- The main plot went off the rails regarding the origins of the aliens called Nova and it's very clear the Author has written himself into a corner regarding them
- The huge secret that the main character's Grandfather knows that's supposed to justify all his terrible actions is slowly about to be revealed in full but the Author just dropped the series as it was clear that ... he didn't know what to do regarding the big secret that the Grandfather knew about the Aliens because all the Author wanted to do is draw his fetishes.

You can still read it up to the hiatus for the nudity, fetishes, and suffering but just don't go in expecting any finality or closure.

**spoiler alert** This manga has way too many negatives and is a BIG SKIP. At first it starts off as a silly female battle fanservice manga, but doesn't live up to the likes of Queen's Blade. Queen's blade offers the viewers different personality types, body types, and better drawing. Freezing is stuck on a select few types. Then it slowly tries to make the plot more serious, adds another love interest for the main character; turning it into a weak Tenchi Muyo harem.

Finally it goes off the rails, and reveals that Grandpa Gengo Aoi is a parody of Gendo Ikari. Which means the whole time ... the series is a weak Evangelion copy, and continues in that plotline direction. Throw in a multi universe and we have a train wreck of a story folks; that simply doesn't know what it wants to be. Then ends up not doing it well, regardless of what direction it goes.

If you were hoping for some romance, tasteful ecchi, and decent battles; forget about it. There will be better places to get that—like Claymore. Also, the writer and drawer have decided to drop this series and have no plans of finishing it.
