MANGA: PSYREN vol.7 Review

Can Ageha and friends save Japan from its dystopic, bleak future?
By October 25, 2012

 

Ageha Yoshina is a trouble-making high school student who is unsatisfied with his average life. However, all that changes when he reacquaints himself with a childhood friend Sakurako Amamimya, who was once an outgoing popular girl, but is now a recluse who shuns her classmates.

One day Sakurako mysteriously disappears, and while looking for his missing friend, Ageha gets sucked into the unknown Psyren world where he must face malignant monsters, known as Taboo, and members of W.I.S.E., the dark mysterious clan that are responsible for the dystopic world of Psyren.

“May good fortune befall the Psyren drifters as you traverse time with Nemesis Q and undertake a journey to change the future!” This message was written on the telephone card that sparked Ageha’s journey to the Psyren. Change the future…does that mean the Psyren world is what Japan is destined to become? And who is Nemesis Q? More clues are given with each volume, and this one is no exception!

Ageha and the Elmore Wood Gang confront three powerful Psionists in order to rescue the kidnapped Kagetora. The head of the villainous Psionists, Kiyotada Inui, reveals shocking truths about his identity and motivations. They also learn that Amagi Miroku, the leader of W.I.S.E., has had Inui under hypnosis this whole time! Now the question is, who is Amagi Miroku?

Later, Ageha and friends discover that the contents of the DVD that previously showed what led to the creation of Psyren has completely changed. The future is being modified due to Ageha’s actions!

What will the DVD tell them this time? Will Ageha be able to survive another round in the Psyren world? Pick up your copy of Psyren vol. 7 to find out! You can also read it instantly at VIZManga.com or on your favorite mobile devices!
