It took a hot infinitesimal to get used to reading backwards, just in one case I did, I was super happy to get back into the world of Psycho-Pass! Withal, as excited equally I was to jump back into this amazing futuristic world, I plant the storyline to be a tad confusing.

Information technology took me a while to grasp what the hell was going on. Once it started to click I started to savor the story a lot more, just information technology took a while for me to get at that place.

I'grand still looking forward to picking up the second volume though, I can't turn downward more than Psycho-Pass! I'grand totally willing to requite the 2nd volume a chance and I promise information technology's a little easier to follow this time around!

This is listed equally a prequel and I call up might have worked better if I had read/watched whatever information technology is a prequel to, because I establish the setting a chip confusing. That may well have been due to external distractions during reading, however. The story seemed solid enough and I plan to continue.

If you exit the terminal s off the title whilst searching goodreads you get an interesting selection of foreign-linguistic communication novels.

Woo Psycho-Laissez passer in manga grade! If y'all like the awesome anime so you'll probably similar this. Not as good as the anime but still good. Woo Psycho-Pass in manga form!

This is a prequel to the show Psycho Laissez passer, one focusing on Shinya Kogami while he was an inspector rather than an Enforcer, tracking downwards people based on their Psycho-Laissez passer numbers and trying to finish Psycho-Hazards. If all of that sounds similar weird lawmaking words without much significant, that's considering you lot haven't seen Psycho Pass. While you might exist okay reading this without watching the anime thanks to a crash course on the titular Psycho-Pass, much of the world and ramifications that were covered in This is a prequel to the show Psycho Pass, one focusing on Shinya Kogami while he was an inspector rather than an Enforcer, tracking down people based on their Psycho-Pass numbers and trying to stop Psycho-Hazards. If all of that sounds like weird lawmaking words without much significant, that's because you haven't seen Psycho Pass. While you might be okay reading this without watching the anime thank you to a crash form on the titular Psycho-Pass, much of the world and ramifications that were covered in season ane of the anime will be entirely lost on you. Very picayune time is spent filling you in on this version of the futurity, then you might be confused when, say, one grapheme is freaking out about the Enforcers but not near Inspector Kogami.

Overall, though, this volume is just a slightly futuristic version of shows like Criminal Minds. Information technology'south fairly by-the-numbers for a cop show, just keep in listen that I mentioned Criminal Minds. There'due south some weird stuff they're tracking downwards. It might get into the more philosophical and (anime spoiler for almost halfway through season ane)(view spoiler)[dystopian reality (hibernate spoiler)] territory in later volumes, every bit it kind of hints at with the last chapter. I'm not sure how world-shattering any revelations volition exist in this series, especially for fans of the anime who take already seen some surprising and shocking stuff.

There are some new characters, though, in the Enforcers, and that makes me wonder what will happen to them to get them written out of the hereafter anime story. Information technology's a different section of the department than what was followed in the original anime, so peradventure aught bad will happen to them... merely this IS Psycho Pass, later all... It's a shame, as I'm already rather attached to a couple of the characters in this batch of quirky, socially inept gang.

As an extension of the Psycho-Pass universe, though, it should be interesting to see how Kogami was when he hadn't gone latent criminal yet. I'thousand only not sure how much people new to the series will get out of this prequel.

This first volume was quite interesting. Every bit usual, the police intrigue was well built, I kept wondering who was behind the stolen organs.

I as well very much enjoyed discovering new characters and seeing former ones such equally Ginoza, Masaoka (Love him)or fifty-fifty Akane (fifty-fifty though just a brusque cameo). But of course, what I loved most was existence able to encounter Kogami over again. More than than existence an interesting, well-fleshed grapheme, he also represents humans complexity in a club where feelings are beingness controlled to a sure extent. I actually enjoyed being able to run across him as a immature detective, before he turned into a potential criminal and became a hunting dog. ...more

In a future globe where peace and order are maintained via consistent monitoring of one's psychological and emotional state (I.e their "psycho-laissez passer"), Inspector Shinya Kogami is tasked with rooting out aberrant personalities and eliminating criminal threats. With the help of a senior Inspector and a team of Enforcers (people with elevated psycho-pass scores who tin forego imprisonment or worse past working with the police force), Kogami attempts to uphold the arrangement in place.

But, as the crimes he investigates begin to chisel away at the foundations of the system undergirding their reality, will Kogami be able to maintain his own psycho-pass? Or, will he go the very kind of person he hunts down for justice?

I'm excited to finally be reading this prequel manga! Psycho-pass is, perhaps, my favorite anime ever fabricated. Kogami is certainly a stand-our character for his complexity and the questions his character poses in the context of this story and world. Though I know how this all ends, I'm looking frontward to watching it unfold~

Definitely recommend Psycho-Pass!!! Especially for anyone who loves an intense psychological thriller~

I never know how to rate manga, and every bit such, my 3 stars is subject to alter, but I call up that rating is pretty close to where it should be, for me.
I liked this manga, merely had some minor bug with it.

It's interesting to see a slice of Kogami's life as an Inspector, and the art is well washed.
I experience the story moves possibly a little likewise quickly, but, considering everything the manga is attempting to say and all the characters being introduced in a short 160 pages, I judge that's how it must be

I'm talking circles here a bit. Like I said, I accept a hard fourth dimension rating near manga.

All the same, it's Psycho Pass, and it's focused on one of the best characters, and I enjoyed it. It'southward certainly no masterpiece, but perhaps the side by side installments will improve upon the foundation here, and garner a more favorable rating from me.

This review has been hidden because information technology contains spoilers. To view information technology, click here. I'g super biased because I love the "Psycho-Pass" serial and Shinya Kogami is my favorite character from the series, only I really enjoyed this manga. I didn't know what I was expecting going into this serial, simply I knew that it was the prequel to the manga and anime. If y'all've seen or read the original series, then you know that Kogami is an Enforcer and no longer an Inspector. I'm actually hoping that this series will give u.s. all the backstory advertising to how he "fell from grace."

What I liked nigh this series is that there are 2 female person Enforcers on the team and I'm already loving Hina Amari. Her flippant personality and lack of empathy make me like her for some reason. I suppose she kinda reminds me of myself a bit, just I think I would exist more squeamish effectually blood than Amari is.

A piddling ho-hum at first but information technology got rather interesting after the first chapter.
Beautifully illustrated and fast paced with memorable characters. A overnice addition to the original anime.

I have not seen the Psycho Pass anime yet, and so my review of this prequel volume would exist wholly pertaining to this manga only. What I gathered from the short intro to the dystopian world is that there are methods to approximate criminal activity and that determines a person's worth in club. The officers of the Public Rubber Bureau are like the police, in that they investigate and auscultate latent criminals - just in that location is a hierarchy inside them - Inspectors, who are like the bosses and Enforcers, prev I have non seen the Psycho Laissez passer anime yet, and then my review of this prequel book would be wholly pertaining to this manga merely. What I gathered from the short intro to the dystopian world is that there are methods to gauge criminal activity and that determines a person's worth in society. The officers of the Public Safe Bureau are like the police, in that they investigate and apprehend latent criminals - but there is a hierarchy inside them - Inspectors, who are similar the bosses and Enforcers, previous criminals, who are now serving as muscle. The world is such that even exposure to a latent criminal can cause spike in mental activity, thereby making the onetime as pariahs to lodge. People balance their mental state with drugs and try to alive 'the expert life'.

Now, equally for the main plot, it revolves around a mysterious emergence of organ theft from a hospital. Kogami and his colleagues investigate the advent of a natural organ (there are constructed ones in this world likewise) with a number stamped on it. Following the clues and the path of registered surgeries, they dig to find out who has been stealing organs and where are these numbered organs coming from. The story is fast-paced and heady, and though just a modest part of the mystery is revealed, I found it to be an interesting one. I am, obviously, excited about future volumes, and now I am contemplating getting to the sequel anime pretty soon.

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review from Dark Horse Manga, via Edelweiss.
