Anybody else read this one? I watched the anime and thought it was one of the best I had seen. So when BArnes and Noble got the manga I bought it. The manga is totally diffrent, and spans only three volumes. Overall I liked the manga however it does tend to have a bit of fanservice :mutter: The end was a bit confusing as well. I think I will have to go back and read them again.
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
It all starts with a lullaby

I haven't gottent o see the anime, but I really want to. Naturally, I was really happy when I saw that there was a manga, but flipping through it I realized it wasn't something I really want to see.

Plus-- The art sorta annoyed me.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I didn't like the content (basically cause it was full body nudity) and also had a sort of incest complex going on there -_- . Also I liked the relationship between Ayato and Reika in the anime (classmates) instead of the manga where they were unrelated brother and sister (not by blood).
