Wow! Just wow! I can't wait to read the next volume - intense, suspenseful read that I couldn't put down.

This review is for all four volumes of 7 Billion Needles.

This was on the border of being really interesting and making absolutely no sense to me. Everything was good until volume three when the subspecies and the Moderator were the focal point and things got very science-fictiony. It was intense.

I think that ultimately the series was about friendship. It seems so simple and almost cheesy after all that, but when it all came down to it there seemed to be the overriding theme of loneliness. Once Hikaru was taken in by Nao and Saya she wasn't so lonely and was able to open up more. Which then prompted her to help Chika who she saw as herself before Nao and Saya. Hikaru became a spectator (who actually mostly just ignored everyone) to an active human. She participated in life which ended up allowing her to save the world.

More sci-fi than I usually read, but I enjoyed it thoroughly!

This is a quirky horror manga that takes a sidelong look at the nature of good and evil. There are several fascinating sub-plots running alongside the main story and Hikaru (the main character) is charmingly shy and misanthropic.

My first ever manga! Slow to start, leading to lots of weirdo action, and a major cliffhanger.

I have a hard time when I dislike the main character. Not sure if there build up here is interesting or too convoluted.
