Hey guys! It's Liz reporting in with another review yo! Mirai Nikki, otherwise known as Future Diary is a great mystery/action manga- i would give it a 10/10 easily, hands down :D
There are 59 chapters total, each chapter about 30 pages or so
The plot revolves around the protagonist, Yukiteru ( Yuki) , a fourteen year old boy who views himself as a bystander and records everything he sees in his cellphone, calling it his diary-
He doesn't have any friends and only speaks with his imaginary friends- Deus Ex Machina is one of them; Deus controls time and space manipulation-
but little does Yuki know that his imaginary friend, Deus is REAL and Deus invents a survival game. Deus chooses 13 diary holders with cellphones, identities hidden and all- and gives them each the power to see the future within their cell phone diaries. It's pretty awesome, actually-
Also, whoever wins the survival game becomes 'God' of time and space
To the left is a picture of Yuki's "imaginary" friend, Deus Ex Machina- the current ruler of time and space manipulation.
The diary holders involve a stalker girl who is obsessed with Yuki, a terrorist, a police officer, two lovers, and a few others from completely different backgrounds.
There is plenty of drama, action, and some comedy as well-
The plot is solid and sticks to the point, the characters quickly grow on you and on top of that, the art is awesome as well- this is one of those few excellent underappreciated masterpieces in the history of anime and manga. Along the way, Yukiteru makes friends that he can trust, and that's really cool! Also, with the release of the 11th volume of the manga, there was a pilot dvd contained that is an eight minute OVA covering parts of the first volume of the manga. The OVA is personally not too shabby, but I wish that it was longer :(
anyhow, if you didn't read this yet, YOU DON't KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSIN!!!!!!!!
