Ryousuke Akiba calls himself ES, a code name taken from a mysterious scientific experiment. Ryousuke will live to be at least two centuries old and possesses strange mental powers: He can enter people’s minds, discover their darkest secrets, even rearrange their memories so that complete strangers will treat him like family. Ryousuke acts not out of malice but for survival–wandering Tokyo for reasons known only to him. No one recognizes him for what he is . . . until Dr. Mine Kujyou, a determined researcher, meets someone who challenges everything she knows about science–ES, possessor of the Eternal Sabbath gene. But is he the only one?

5 stars

My review applies to all ES volumes.

I read it somewhere in my late teens or early twenties, and then it was a favorite of mine both in the sci-fi and romantic manga genree. The core idea was revolving about something I liked to phantasize about in childhood, and one of the protagonists was young woman - a scientist and a rather reasonable person - what more could I dream about?! Also I was hopless romantic then, and ES resonated well with my romantic side.

Even though, I am not sure, if I were equaly amazed, if I had read it 10 years and lots of books later.
