Psyren is Wasted Potential: The Manga. There are so many interesting elements to the story that the author briefly touches on and then moves on (the "programming" of psychic abilities, villain backstory, powers revealed near the end...I could go on). Battles with seemingly big bads end in a matter of seconds/chapters and feel poorly paced. There is an enormous plot point introduced in the story that is never addressed again. Funny enough these only happens a little after the midway point, like the author got tired of writing the story or the series was cancelled and had to wrap ASAP. What starts as a cool premise of time travel turns into a rushed out mess of a product by the end, resulting in it being a fairly forgettable, skippable experience. In instances like this, the artwork can usually redeem a mediocre story, but the art here is nothing but average. Overall a fine "popcorn" read but lacks the lasting power of some other shonen out there.
