Denpa Books Heavenly Delusion, Volume 1
Book SynopsisWithin the safety of the walls, youths are raised in a nursery-style setting by robots. While life there may appear stale on the surface, the children are full of potential and curiosity. In many ways it is like a slice of heaven.The outside world is a hell-scape. It is almost entirely void of anything mechanical and is now inhabited by bizarre, yet powerful super-natural beings. Maru, with the aid of Kiruko, is out there crisscrossing what was once Tokyo for heaven. But after searching for so long, maybe heaven is more of an untenable dream than a potential reality.Trade Review Heavenly Delusion does many things, and it does them well. Ishiguro makes great use of contrast particularly in building up atmosphere and setting. All this is realized with delicate, detailed linework, with what little shading is there done through pen-and-ink techniques such as crosshatching. Its central characters think and act and talk like human beings[...] One thing it does not do, however, is give any answers. Not a single one.[T]here are way too many unique storylines and elements set-up that are fascinating to read, and it only begs for me to learn more. If you’re in need of a sci-fi manga, you won’t be making a mistake checking this one out. -- Justin * The OASG *
