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 really enjoyable to read. I loved their powers and I loved how the story progressed. I think the story could have gone a bit more in detail at parts, and I believe that the mangaka could have written more experiences that the group went through, but as a whole, I thought it was really well written.
Art: 9
I honestly really love the art. I mean, I chose to read this book in the beginning because I liked the cover! When I read the manga, the first few pages of the first volume were pictures of girls showing off in bathing suits. I'm a girl, so I facepalmed. But the art was pretty so I continued. I'm glad I did. The different shots are interesting and I like how it adds to the story. The characters are nicely drawn as well. When I picked up the last volume at Borders, I looked at the cover and muffled a little fangirl squeal. The reason? I saw the cover art and noticed that the mangaka had improved. My favorite characters were even hotter, even if just a bit. I enjoyed watching the mangaka's art style grow throughout this series, and am looking forward to reading other's by both Akinari Nao and Yuya Aoki.
Character: 9
The characters were well drawn and I liked the friendship and interaction between them. I liked how we really got to know them and their pasts in different parts of the story and how we got to see them face up to their past and grow as a person. I disliked the demise of a certain character, Todoroki, but all in all I like them all. What can I say? I love Joi!! ^^ hehe...
Overall: 9
From the perverted moments to the love confessions to the tearful pasts of the characters, this series, in my opinion, deserves a 9. The story had unexpected twists that made me wonder what was going to happen next, the art was beautifully drawn and led me to an interesting manga, and the characters were fun to watch and drew me into their own personal lives as they entertained me with the ongoings of a psychic. It was a wonderful ride and I will happily recommend Psycho Busters to any person who's looking for a great read.
