He came on this voyage for a big pay day for himself, his best friend and his love interest, Nanao Akita. So what about our cast of characters? What are they like? Well, the main character for this arc (I hear they change things later for some reason) is Shokichi Komachi, a 22 year old from Japan. The whole idea of what the team is originally there to do and what ends up happening is a bit familiar in some ways, but still intriguing and surprising enough to keep you going, especially when the twists kick in as the story goes on (though one of them is rather stupid due to a reason why a character did a certain thing).Īnd you would be completely right! I have no idea what heck I’m talking about. The science angle here is very well done and in the context of this fictional world/universe, you can almost buy into how it works. Going back to the setup and the premise of the story, it’s a very intriguing one.

I heard some comparisons between this series and Gantz, which I never read, so perhaps that’ll mean something to you.įor those of you who are very interested in this type of story, there’s plenty to like and get into. It doesn’t hold back at all in what it’ll do or put the characters through. It’s the kind of story where you can’t be certain who will live or who will die by the end of it. This is a very fast-paced, in-your-face with lots of blood and gore kind of manga. The manga starts off slow initially, but quickly changes gears and makes one hell of an impression. I honestly kind of figured it would be a more slow going series, with horror popping in from time to time.īoy, was I completely wrong.

It introduced basic premise and setup for the story, with what the characters were going to do, introduces a bunch of the characters with a bit of backstory to a few of them, allowed us time to take in the full scope of the scenario and see why the mission was important, and all that fun stuff. As such, the very first chapter is rather slow and methodical in its approach.
I did a bit of research first before I started reading to get a better idea what I was stepping into and what to expect. I was a little bit surprised when I first started reading the manga. Their eyes… they’re so blank!! They are staring into my soul!!! So yeah, hell breaks loose and it becomes a desperate tale of survival, with plenty of surprises and twists along the way. Especially when they run into… these… things… Of course, this being a science fiction horror story, things don’t go quite as planned. Thus we have our new group, comprised of many different people from across the globe, to see what happened, clear out any remaining cockroaches that are still left, and other important jobs. However, something happened and the expedition was lost for some mysterious reason. It’s questionable science, to be sure, but regardless the plan works and Mars now has a working, livable atmosphere.īefore BUGS 2 went to Mars, there was also BUGS 1, a previous expedition team that went to check out the planet to see how things were. So, they set their sights on Mars and decided to make it inhabitable for the human race, by sending a combination of moss and cockroaches that would absorb sunlight and purify the atmosphere. You see, back in the 20th/21st century, scientists started figuring that the human race would be running into trouble with resources, population, and all that jazz on Earth. It’s comprised of a very special group of astronauts who underwent some sort of dangerous surgery before taking part in this mission, and they’re going to Mars to destroy cockroaches that are living there because of terraforming. Is this another hit for the Signature line? Is it good?Īt the end of the 26th century (2599 AD), an expedition known as BUGS 2 is heading for Mars. Now from the Signature line come s Terra Formars, a sci-fi action horror tale involving mutant killer bugs. There’s something for everyone and I honestly haven’t seen a bad title yet. Hell, you want historical drama? Ooku: The Inner Chambers would be right up your alley. You want horror? You got it with The Drifting Classroom. With Viz Signature, there’s something for everyone with the amazing lineup of titles and genres. That’s not a slight at all against the regular line, just an observation and noticeable difference in the material. The Signature line of books is for more adult and mature stories, far different than what is going on in the regular line. In my humble opinion, Viz Signature is to Viz Media what Vertigo is to DC Comics.
