Psyren, Vol. 6: Flame

Upon returning to the present, Ageha and his friends get a bit of time off to recuperate from their trip. While he is relaxing, Kagetora offers Ageha the chance to help him in a job hunting down criminal psionists but Ageha wants to track down W.I.S.E. and save the Elmore Wood kids and so refuses but when Ageha goes to warn Elmore Tenjuin however, he is confronted by Nemesis Q who reveals a little of its motivations. Later Ageha discovers that Kagetora got in over his head and sets out to save his friend.This sixth volume of the Psyren manga is another very good volume with some nice revelations and some interesting action. The volume allows us to get to see some of the contemporary psionists in action as well as allowing us to see what the Elmore Wood children are capable of. The volume's revelations about Nemesis Q's intentions are also interesting. The translation is generally quite good but Fredrika's accent when she gets angry could probably have been handled a bit better.Overall this was another brilliant volume of Psyren and it is definitely worth a full five stars.

Having read the scanlations for Psyren ages ago, I already know I love this book. The few complaints I have are actually in the translations. Changing (what I consider) the iconic names of things bugs me a little. Switching 'Rise' to 'Enhance', and removing Kyle's trademark move, 'Material High'. It makes me worry if they're going to butcher any of the other psychic ability names further down the road...I guess it really comes down to what you've read first. I really enjoyed the original fan translation (however wonky it might have been), so this version seems a little off. However, the core of the story is still intact, and it is a great read. I look forward to having this whole series in my collection (even if it's more than a year after the series finished running in Japan).

This is a must read for fans of science fiction and dystopian futures. Th writing is wonderful and highly entertaining.

FLAME:The secrets of Psyren are nothing compared to going up against a team of Psionists who've been using their power to steal from the Yakuza!Thankfully, Ageha's got the powerful kids from the Elmore Wood orphanage to help him.But they are just children. Will their help be enough?Slade:I love this series. I've bought every volume so far.Its a good action/adventure/sci-fi story if anybody likes that kind of story they should give it a chance ,they may love as much as I do.

Ordered for a friend, but he loves the series!
