Mai: The Psychic Girl - Perfect Collection, Volume 1 by Kazuya Kudo, Kazuya Kudo, 池上 遼一
3.0
Notable for being the first manga to be translated into English, which set off a chain reaction that ended with anime taking over the world. It's fine. The story is a fairly standard sci-fi conspiracy thriller, which is not in and of itself a bad thing but it lacks the strong cast needed to make the whole thing fun. The main character is fine; the problem is everyone else.
If the story has a saving grace, it's that the art is quite good. The more grounded aesthetic lends the action and events a bit more heft.
