Story 8
This isn't a cheesy, completely unrealistic, children's hour manga, don't worry. Psycho Busters mixes up the old "escaped secret lab experiments" premise by making the main character Kakeru just a normal guy that gets caught up with the escapees instead of an escapee himself. There are so many mysterious aspects of each of the characters and their powers but none of the mysteries are or become annoying

This story was very good. the main character may seem like a wimp at first but as you read along you slowly see how strong he becomes.
The main character Kakeru is a very nice person that cares a lot about others instead of himself. This is an amazing story and you should read it too!!!!!

This was a great manga and i'm extremely anticipating the rest of the chapters. My enjoyment was 10. It is a very action fast-paced story giving off a apocalyptic feeling like Psyren and Alive: Final Evolution with a toss up of love in it. Kakeru a somewhat socially withdrawn gamer boy, playing and creating videos games to pass most of his time being bullied by his sisters, dreaming one day to be a hero that saves the damsel in distress like in a video game. While his dad is working overseas his mom and sisters go off on vacation leaving him with free leisurely time for his games. When ...

I would consider this manga unique even though it falls into many very annoyingly stereotypical manga situations (i.e. wimpy protagonist who wants to save everybody). These negative attributes degrade the manga's originality but the overall story is still extraordinary.
One draw back of the manga is its characters. They are bland base models of typical characters. On the other hand, the art is above average. The pages definitely rise above the standards of its genre, in which the art is usually secondary. The story is where this manga truly shines. Now there are parts which are boring because of the stereotypical plot advances, but I can ...

I first found this manga just browsing the isles at a bookstore. The cover looked cool and I'm into the whole psychics and supernatural genre, so I was like "Why not?" I didn't think it'd turn out to be this awesome.
Story: 9 I've heard of and read books about psychis escaping from an evil lab, but the story was much more than that. Psycho Busters added interesting twists and placed a huge amount of the plot on friendship and making relationships. How Kakeru was involved, how he was accepted, how the groups' bond and trust played a key factor in their saving the world- it was ...

Manga was very good. However, I thought that the series was a fast-paced and had a few 'awkward' moments. Such as one time the characters were talking and someone asked this random person: "why did you save them?" "because he looked like my dead brothers." and then the person said some really random stuff about how her brother always smiled, and some other stuff like that...
It was also really predictable, like you could tell when one character was going to save another one and when the main character was going to use his awesome power. The art was enjoyable, nothing great but easy to look ...

The drawings are very clean and with a light stroke and not at all angular, Akinari Nao is still in her first experiences and is still immature for her stroke, we also begin to see how Ayano draws that we can glimpse a sketch of Lilith a character from Trinity seven.
The story is pure science fiction, with time, manipulations of it, paradoxes, parallel worlds and an explanation of what time is, the plot is very light and enjoyable from all points of view and you will reach the end of the manga, your brain will explode from the solutions of the end of the manga ...

Psycho Busters is a pretty straightforward shonen manga that doesn't do anything special or outstanding, but there's enough enjoyment to be had in its entertaining cast of characters, and it serves quite well as a palate cleanser or a easygoing read. The action scenes are decent, its mostly fun to see how the main character reacts to whatever is happening. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, but many of its best moments are directly tied to how it shifts into a more serious tone. There's a solid love relationship between the main two characters that does it job as the heartwarming part of the
