Are there any other fans of the manga Mirai Nikki? It's.. kind of new, I guess- has around 40 chapters out, more or less. It's one of my favorite mangas, it's about a killing game to become God, in a nutshell.

Each person involved, chosen by the current "God" Deus Ex Machina has a diary (whether it be a cell phone, a scroll, etc) that can predict the future. They use that to try to get rid of all the rest of the people in the "game" so they can win.

Sounds a bit confusing at first, but it's a good read- anyone else hear of it before?

New? no, it's not new, it's just that the releases are slower than a week, i think on a monthly basis instead...

Other than that, it's an amazing series, and it actually seems to be moving at a good pace

The concept of the manga was what initially intrigued me into reading it and has invariably become one of my commonly updated manga on MAL. That said, I personally find some of the characters too forced in their roles and that the series as a whole just tries too hard in blending the action, drama, psychological, horror and supernatural genres together (granted, some are a little more pronounced than others).

Still, it's enjoyable for what it's doing and the art's impressive. Although I have to say, Yukiteru is one of the most infuriating leads I've ever read in terms of personality. I almost gave up on the series because of him, but thankfully, he mans up in the latest chapters so I can keep reading.

Oh, yeah.. I hate Yuki. Horrible protaganist.. there was a spin off about if Akise Aru got his diary instead, and I have to say, he was much better; he has leadership, skills, confidence.. and isn't such a darn pansy! I was so dissapointed in the recent chapters when Yukiteru was acting all tough, to find out it was just an act.. I really thought he turned awesome. D:

In my opinion, they have too many spinoffs (okay, only two admittedly) though. They should be focusing on the main plot from my POV, since they're not even 40 chapters in, instead of making the spinoffs, which will only delay the main's releasal. Not saying I don't enjoy them, of course, but still..

I've been reading it since it was on the first chapters, and I've been a fan ever since.
(and it was I who got digi into it, lol!)

And agreeing with the posters above, Yukiteru is a hag.
But I like almost all other characters- and can't wait for the inevitable anime adaptation!

They better have an anime. I saw a fake trailer for one on youtube and was fooled.. for all of five minutes, but was still fooled- and extremely dissapointed. v_v; If they have an anime.. I expect it to be awesome, or else. ;_;

I haven't been following it recently, but I remember liking it quite a lot. So much that I searched all my city's bookstores looking for the tankobons (three at the time, iirc?). It was nice how they made the main characters drastically different from that of the mainstream series'; a psycho heroine and a coward protag. But can't really remember why I lost interest. :<
