This is definitely looking like it has the potential to be up there with the better shounen mangas, and it isn't as stereotyped as the average one, thank god.

Summary: "A high schooler named Taisuke Kanou is living with his older sister, Youko, after the death of his parents. He lives a relatively quiet life until a massive surge of suicides around the world known as the "Nightmare Week" begins.

From that moment on, weird phenomena begin to occur around Taisuke. He is victim of space travelling illusions. He sees a smiling girl who jumps to her death from atop a building. His best friend, Hirose, is framed for murder. His classmates are killing themselves for no apparent reason. Furthermore, the police always seem to keep an eye on Taisuke while investigating Hirose's case. At the same time, a psychotic murderer appears, and he sees our protagonist as his "comrade". Will Taisuke succumb to all of these crazy incidents? Or will he be able to someday return to his old peaceful lifestyle that he yearns for?"

The summary doesen't do it much justice, since it seems like it will be quite action based. I highly reccomend it.

It seems to be almost over at chapter 34.

Didn't quite live up to the potential I think it had but it was a good read anyway.

Yeah, it seems a good read so far. I am just at chapter 9 now, would most likely catch up by morrow. Yeah, does seem to be leading to an ending and not exactly a majorly long running series but so far it is working for me. I think some aspects are a lil'cliche but what else can i expect from a shonen.

Been reading it for awhile and it's really good. I dislike the odd release rate though. New chapters come out whenever...

When I first made this thread there were only a few chapters out, the cliches came shortly after, haha. Dissapointed me.

I am already at 32 right now but I am despite all the faults i am still looking to see how it ends. It gets pretty generic though but still, some things in it make me like it, plus i would feel like a totally wasted my time if i didnt follow through and end the series.

Finally a new chapter after so long of no releases.

I see a minimum of one chapter left, a maximum of 3.
