Mai, the Psychic Girl

Issue 16

This is a comic book series that I started reading basically accidentally. I had gotten a bunch of anime/manga in form an auction place on the web and was reading through some of them when I got attracted to Mai. The story is extremely interesting, and gradually I got most of the issues.

The basic story concerns a girl named Mai whose psychic ability is incredible. Two groups are after here, one group which basically are the shadow rulers of the earth (they are behind everything, sort of like the Trilateral Commission idea), and another group headed by one old man who wants to keep Mai and her abilities for himself.

There's another young girl named Garten who believes she is the strong psychic in the world and should get all the attention, and sets out to kill Mai.

There's a lot of violence in this series, a lot of people dying, but the overall story is nevertheless very good. Mai has to go through a lot of rough times, far more than any young girl should.
