Synopsis

About one thousand years into the future, civilization has been retrograded and humans are living dispersed within small communities. People in this era have a psychic power called "Juryoku" which materializes things they imagine. In the absence of advanced scientific technology, people are using this power as a major source of energy.

One day, a girl called Saki, along with her friends, finds a small archive robot outside the town. It records the ancient history of humans. It tells them that Juryoku was found in the 21st century and the discovery caused a world war between psychics and non-psychics. The psychics won this war and thus their reign of terror began.

When the adults in town figure out that the children discovered this forbidden knowledge, they seal their Juryoku and exile them. Saki and the others end up in a forest where they meet a huge hairless bipedal mouse known as a "Bakenezumi" and get involved in a violent war the creatures are currently engaged in.

Very honestly I liked this manga, despite popular opinion it seems. But I cannot compare it to the anime or novel yet because I haven't seen them yet but I will get to them. As a stand alone manga, it isn't terrible.

The story is pretty well written and I think that the plot was worth the read at least. The mystery was pretty intriguing and I was hooked to reading it all in one sitting. I found that the pacing is alright with me too.

There was a LOT of yuri. While I don't mind looking at boobs, I think there was some unnecessary ...

Well, damn, I just finished reading the manga and while the ending was great, was a little underwhelmed by the beginning compared to the reviews I had read.

Turns out I had glimpsed the reviews for the anime, and not the manga!

The beginning is real confusing, scenes honestly make no sense and the conversations would be a bit jarring. Plus the obvious boob and crotch shots and then random yuri sex scene out of nowhere got me laughing out "what the f-"

I guess it was meant to be more of a romantic moment, when later on you hear more about one of the ...

If you've watched the anime of Shinsekai Yori and are thinking you would want to check the manga version with the mindset that you're in for yet another incredible thought-provoking journey, do not take that step.

Personally, I can't imagine how a masterpiece-level series would ever have a poor adaption. That was before I read this manga.

Everything is wrong in this terrible adaption. The story which is the series' best aspect is turned into a pile of rubbish, by totally changing the flow of the events, which in the novel and anime are linked together incredibly well. The same-sex relationship theme which is essential in the ...
