After this first volume the story picks up the speed and there is a lot more action in 2nd volume. We get to see Hiro and what makes him feel alive, or human? And we see how Inuyashiki deals with the search for his humanity. Beautiful. I love how awfully bad the old man fights. He's not a trained fighter, he seems to be scared, maybe scared of what he's going to do, maybe scared to harm others, therefore he fights in a very awkward way. He just feels like a human, flawed and very much a human being.
Loved this volume, read it in one evening.

I'm still intrigued by this title. Inuyashiki is an old man who feels happiness and validation at being able to use his powers to help others, despite the fact that the changes to his body make him not quite human. On the other hand is Hiro, a high school kid granted the same abilities, who uses his omnipotence to kill and steal. I find it interesting that these two are physiologically more machine than man, yet the freak accident that changed them merely accentuates their human characteristics. Inuyaskiki finds the courage to use his abilities compassionately, while Hiro's sociopathic tendencies erupt because he believes he can do anything with impunity.

This title is a combination of deconstructed superhero, and cat-and-mouse serial killer in sci-fi trappings (probably partially so the creator can draw robot parts).

Well, this should be rated mature, not older teen, between the porn and graphic violence. The villain has no motivation, which i guess makes him scarier but also makes him boring. The hero is so likeable; he's what makes me interested in continuing.

Another good solid volume. Man, that bathtub scene… so intense. Maybe it because I have two babies of my own but so gut wrenching. I can’t even imagine! Such a contrast between the 2 main characters. It looks like a classic good vs. evil.
