It’s about two children being sent to live on a basically deserted island. Deserted except for a few other kids and teachers. Suzuhara Kokoro and his blind little sister Yume find that all is not as it seems as they learn more from the other kids and see the actions of their teachers.

Well, I am in a mood to start reading some horrors. This is supposed to be one.

Hard to say anything about the manga yet. Just one short chapter and we haven't even met all the characters yet. Interesting use of time though. Starts with a flashforward, then cuts back to what I assume is "the present" and includes a flashback too. I wonder if the following chapter will also include flashforwards or will they stick to the present while at the same time fill us in on the siblings past.
More horror manga makes me a happy woman.

Usually, a first chapter gives much more information on the actual storyline. This however kinda felt like a chapter that could be released much later. Quick flashbacks, short introductions... I have no idea what to think about this Manga. >.<
I don't even know why I read this. Probably because I'm into the fourth season of Lost right now, so mystery + island must have caught my interest. ;)

I don't think so but that's because of the drawing-style.
That teacher does look like the one teacher from Azumanga Daioh though, disturbing since those two series are different in every aspect. >.<

Stupid ecchi. At least it serves the plot, somewhat.

Ghost story, heh. I wonder what's really happening on that island.

I hope for more Ecchi, but if little mute girl gets raped il probably stop reading this manga, way too hardcore for me, unless its off-screen.

I would be fine with a rape. It would fit in with the story and the horror aspect of it. But I'm going to be annoyed if there's going to be pointless fanservice and pantyshots and shower scenes in every chapter.
I just checked and the manga isn't labeled as mature, so whatever happens I doubt it will be too graphic.

i would be very entertained by pointless fanservice, but the again most characters in this manga are children so that would just be disturbing for this one, unless its the hot teacher.

Well, I've started read the first 2 chapters of this story. Has a bit of "Lost" theme dibbed in there, and I seem to remember one simlair pattern (only a part) as seen on old TV series...let's see, what's it called? Ah! Now I remember...it's called "The Prisioner" - it's actually an old British suspense/thriller/mystery show.
Anyway, I look forward for the next chapter to know more hints of the mystery on the island.

Another manga of Sanbe Kei!!!! Hurray!! I'm a fan of Testarotho and Kamiyadori!
Well, the art hasn't changed at all, and that's actually a good point I think.
The plot of the story isn't clear for now (as in the two previous I said, it's still vague for now)...but there is only two chapters, argh it's ging to be a long wait.
And I don't know if it's going to be a horror manga, the previous one where really dark, with blood, monsters, ect...but I won't call that horror. And I also hope this time, he can finish his manga unless Testarotho!

I just wanna know why an elementary school kid is built like a grown woman. :confused:
This manga does remind me a lot of Lost. I think Rikiya's gonna be the first child to "leave the island" he's the oldest and he's probably been there the longest. Not to mention all the sneeking around and going to places outside of the fence.

Because the Mangaka can't draw naked people. I noticed that last chapter already but this time was really bad as well. >.<

Ah, the chapter as added to th site...I think, you don't have to try understand why the little girl isn't loking that little... Well, I would like to see where it's going, with the professor completly crasy with the woman, and who is/are the "murderer" (if there is really murederers...)

Maybe not but it's still one of the island's big mysteries.:D
I just hope this doesn't turn out to be some psychological crap like "Oh it was all in their heads b/c we ran out of ideas.":mad: Trust me I've seen it done before.

I don't know what to think about it, I mean three chapters is not enough, to have a good idea of the story. but it has definetly some thing weird on this island and the teachers are really weird, their minds is not right
