I agree, that does sound interesting. Funny thing is, when I was searching for it in ANN's database, I found this manga instead: manga#3481
It's also called Alive. Too bad it hasn't released here yet, it sounds good.

I'm glad people are finding this series. It is a bit dark though... ANN recently added this next to the other similarly titled series.

I am reading the chinese mandarin version. The story is pretty fast paced until you get to book 10, then you get a breather. Don't think this will be a short series based on how it looks so far.

There are quite a bit more things which need to be revealed and more charactered to be introduced. With these new characters, more should be revealed about our antagonists... I am glad people are noticing this series though.
