How do I categorize this tale...a rich student get sucked into an alternate world through a mirror where he dies attempting to save a classmate. He's now bound to this world, pulled back in on a whim where he must battle his fears and those of others. Akatsuki starts off as a bit of a jerk, made me think of the protagonist of Death Note, who starts off with noble ideas of killing evildoers but then his arrogance takes over. But its a bit different here, oh there's plenty of arrogance but he keeps putting himself in danger to save people, even though the one thing he claims is to want to control, after all there are only two types of people and he doesn't wan to be the one who is controlled. Which of course anger him all the more about this world since he has no control over it whatsoever, at least not at first...but as he starts to learn the ropes he plans to overthrow that which is pulling the strings.

Picked up the next two books from the library. The tone shifted a little bit, as the author mentioned in the third book he felt it was getting too dark. So not that there wasn't danger and some seriously messed up people, but it wasn't quite so scary. Akatsuki discovers there's an entire group of chemistry students who all died at the same time during an experiment gone wrong, and they are all trapped by this mysterious alternate world. And there are two, I wouldn't call them gods, but powers, one which wants to destroy the world and set the people free, and another that feels the world itself is where people can be free of the pains of the real world. Admitedly if you are in the real world and you live in a wheelchair, even a freaky world, but one where you can walk, can be appealing.

Unfortunately like many manga series it doesn't have a clear ending. While a battle ensues, its not the end of the war and the reader is left to imagine what happens next, so wasn't quite as satisfying as it could have been.
