MIND CONTROL

Ryousuke Akiba calls himself ES, a code name taken from a mysterious scientific experiment. Ryousuke will live to be at least two centuries old and possesses strange mental powers: He can enter people's minds, discover their darkest secrets, even rearrange their memories so that complete strangers will treat him like family. Ryousuke acts not out of malice but for survival-wandering Tokyo for reasons known only to him. No one recognizes him for what he is . . . until Dr. Mine Kujyou, a determined researcher, meets someone who challenges everything she knows about science-ES, possessor of the Eternal Sabbath gene. But is he the only one?

Gr 10 Up-Eternal Sabbath is a genetically engineered human with the power to "hack" into people's brains and reprogram them to his liking. Those who try to resist him suffer harsh mental and physical punishments. He may have finally met his match, though, in beautiful and brilliant scientist Mine. The protagonists are compelling and the melodramatic techno-thriller plot should interest fans of both the romance and science-fiction manga genres. Violent or sexual images drawn from dramatic angles move the story along at a rapid pace. With more action than dialogue, this volume perfectly illustrates manga's wide appeal among older teens.-Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.
