Didn't believe in the story or the characters. Unlikely to waste my time on the second volume. ( )

Questions of identity and destiny drive this manga series focusing on cloning. Imagine a school populated by Napoleon, Freud, Elizabeth I, Florence Nightingale, Madame Curie, Hitler, Mozart, as well as other great personages from multiple times and multiple countries. Each clone is being educated, not only to be great students, but also to become the luminaries from whom they were cloned. Shirou, the headmaster’s son, is the non-clone from whose eyes we are introduced to this world. As the series progresses, action, intrigue, and conspiracy drive the plot at breakneck speed. The result is a thought-provoking tale filled with drama and action. Perfect for fans of science fiction thrillers. ( )

Interesting concept, though a little jarring due to suddenly clones of historical people being cute or bishie as hell. Will totally read some more of this. ( )

Intesting manga (though one that doen't always make a lot of sense) about a highschool where almost all of the students are clones of influential people form history. Yep, even Hitler - though why anyone would clone Hitler is beyond me. ( )

This review refers to volumes 1-7 of the manga. The series is about a group of private school students who are clones of famous historical figures (Joan of Arc, Marie Curie, Sigmund Freus, Napoleon, and several others). They struggle with forging their own identity while living up to the potential of their originals. Over the course of the seires the students discover that their school is not the beautiful ideal that it initially appears to be. For what purpose are the clones being made, and what will happen to them after they leave the academy? This is a series for older teens, or maybe even adults. There is violence, nudity, and very dark subject matter. ( )
