Has anyone else bought this yet? I read through it quickly but, I can't decide if I liked it or not. It was a story told more throught the amazing art than through words. I hope the next volume answers some of my questions.

I saw it in the store but I had heard such bad things about the anime version that I steered clear of it. Was it worth reading? The anime got the same complaints, that it was hard to follow and seemed more concerned with visuals than story.

I read the first chapter in half a minute and it was like 40 pages. Didn't read any more of it.

This manga's really great IMO: the complete is available in France since last year approximately and it's one of the best piece I read in a while. I strongly recommend everyone to give it a serious try once the whole story will be available in your contry
The anime is really disappointed though, except if you like 'experimental' productions of course...

I bought it this weekend and so far i think it's an excellent piece of work. The best thing to come from Tokyopop in ages IMHO (maybe because it contains very little dialogue to butcher). I loved the claustrofobic setting, reminded me a little of a futuristic Silent Hill. Will definately continue following this.
B.t.w: If I could choose one weapon from any manga I wanted I would choose (maincharacter) Killy's gun. It's so powerful it makes me laugh everytime he fires it.
