Ryousuke Akiba calls himself Eternal Sabbath, a code name taken from a mysterious scientific experiment. Akiba is a genetically engineered human with the power to hack into peoples brains, discover their darkest secrets and reprogram them to his liking. Those who try to resist him suffer harsh mental and physical punishments. But to readers' delight, Akiba does not use his power for malicious acts but for his survival in Tokyo.

This is a surprising one! I knew nothing about this before reading, but from the cover it looked maybe like a bit of a throwaway BL/shonen-ai series... boy was I wrong! It seems like a really good action/drama series with some well-placed supernatural overtones.
The main character is Ryosuke Akiba, but he is also known as ES - the result of genetic experimentation, he has the power to tap into most people's minds. He can find things that they are hiding from him, but also simply bl...more

I liked it well enough, but I didn't love it. The story was interesting, but I am having trouble liking the characters. The main character is a bit of an unfeeling bastard. I also found this manga to be a bit sexist.
Ryousuke Akiba posesses the power of mind control, and can manipulate the thoughts of all he meets, he calls himself ES..... later we meet Dr. Mine Kujyou and by the end of this first volume, she gets really close to finding out the truth.....
Very interesting new story, a mix of sci-fi and utopia. And perhaps some romance?
Dessins un peu froids mais histoire très captivante.
sci fi
I am a great fan of Fuyumi Souryo, and above all, this particular work. Within ES, she has woven a thought-provoking story that explores the ethics of human experimentation. Along the way, she touches upon the themes of women in science, the lines between personal and professional life, and the meaning of identity. It is amazing how well the text complements the artwork, and vice versa.
Awesome page-turner! You'd think it was a graphic novel rather than a serialization. Kind of reminds me of Death Note- modern supernatural setting, clever, pretty sophisticated. A few pages are pretty disturbing but hang in there. The story is very exciting and re-readable.
Karaoke OK

[Series Length: 8 volumes / Read: volumes 1-8]
Supernatural (well, at least in terms of telepathic and telekinetic super-clones) action-thriller. Ending is a little sad and abrupt, though.

Very good. Interesting plot, good character exploration, and very nice artwork.
Interesting, gripping story about the men with psychic powers. Quite a mature manga with occasional gore scenes. Surely better than the shallow series Mars by the same author.
Kind of strange and just not nearly as good as Mars.
pretty, pretty manga
