Freezing [Manga] Review

Today i would like to give my impression now a series that from what i have seen on a few anime forums is getting a bit of flack for the pace at which it is going. Though most of what i have seen is based off the TV Adaption, so i would like to focus on the manga since it is further along in story.


Freezing by Dall-Young Lim, Kwang-Hyun Kim

The Basic idea i have gotten from this is the general end of humanity brought around by the appearance of Nova's and humanity trying to save themselves from "extinction". If you have ever read or watch any of the Evangelion series (Original Anime, Manga, or the "Reboot" Movie OVA's) you are gonna have some major flashbacks. At some points in the beginning is a little off-putting on how it almost mirrors the original Eva series, Baka Shinji included. As you get through those part its start to switch gears a bit with the mystery surrounding the protagonist's uncle involvement in how he controls everything for so many years. As you get closer to the more current chapters the manga has taken on a harem feel to it, which for me is a bit off putting because i was more interested in the back-story they were getting into but keep shortening because the of the harem feeling being introduced.

There are other part that have it good points and bad points but that would extent this review much farther then i would like it to get for a first post back. When all is said and done, i would say that this is worth the time to read, but i don't think the anime might hold some peoples attention if it follows the story too closely.
