Psyren, Volume 2 - Toshiaki Iwashiro

Deciding to go on in this series sort of half worked out for me. I find myself liking the characters more here in the second volume, but the story... ehhhhh.

This was like infodump: The Manga. We learn about psi powers, and how to use them. And then we see people trying to use them. Woo hoo.

I shouldn't be so facetious. It is kind of interesting, it just feels like they spend way more time on it than they need to, or else that it needed to be broken up with something that didn't feel so much like a weird pseudo-science class.

But like I said, the characters really worked a lot better for me in this one. And it did really start to pick up at the end, as we meet a couple new active Psyren contestants and get called back to that waste land way ahead of what the thought would be the schedule. Led me quite excitedly into volume 3
