Pressestimmen
"[7 Billion Needles] is a suspenseful, intense book. What I enjoyed best is how skillfully Nobuaki Tadano develops Hikaru’s character...It’s impossible to not care about anything, and by the end of this introductory volume, it’s impossible to not care for Hikaru." --MangaManiacCafe
"Tadano made this science fiction story -- with its monster-movie overtones, and a jolting dose of ultraviolence -- mostly quiet and subdued, with a heroine who falls into none of the usual manga stereotypes. Hal Clement might have had a hard time seeing his story in this, but I think he would have appreciated those quiet moments, and the communications between Horizon and Hikaru."--Antick Musings

Kurzbeschreibung
Always sporting her headphones to try to close out the world around her, Hikaru is clearly a reclusive teen aged girl. And within her body resides another life-form known as Ciel, a hunter in search of an intergalactic murderer intent on wiping out humanity. In 7 Billion Needles, two lives share one heart as they race to protect each other and what they most cherish.
Modern day Japan is the stage for a new form of hard science-fiction, as author Nobuaki Tadano revisits one of the genre's Grand Masters, Hal Clement, in his debut work 7 Billion Needles. Loosely inspired by Clement's golden age title Needle, 7 Billion Needles follows the life of a teenage girl whose quiet boring days are dramatically changed when her body is possessed by an alien life form caught up in an intergalactic manhunt.
On a clear calm night, while on a class trip to the beach, Hikaru Takabe decides to go for a walk to escape the shackles of school and peer pressure. While observing the stars above a calm dark sea in an instant she is disintegrated when struck by a meteor.
Flash forward one page, and Hikaru awakes, from what seems like a horrible daydream of sorts, sitting amongst classmates in school without a scratch on her. The meteor dream seemed so real she cannot believe she's alive, but given her relative aloof nature, she soon shrugs off the events and moves on with life. However, one thing she cannot shake off is the strange buzzing she hears coming from her new pair of headphones...

In the tradition of Hal Clement
9. Januar 2011
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Harry Clement Stubbs (May 30, 1922 - October 29, 2003) better known by the pen name Hal Clement, was an American science fiction writer and a leader of the hard science fiction subgenre. His Needle story was published in 1949 in Astounding Science Fiction magazine, and was published as a novel the following year. (http://www.amazon.com/Needle-also-published-Outer-Space/dp/0380006359/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294535335&sr=1-1) It was followed in 1978 by Through the Eye of a Needle (http://www.amazon.com/Through-Eye-Needle-Hal-Clement/dp/0345258509/ref=sr_1_4_title_1_mm?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294535081&sr=1-4). Nobuaki Tadano changes the main character from male to female and places her in present day Japan. The artwork is excellent, and the story engaging. Todano adds much to the original story, retaining only Hal Clement's essentials about two aliens who crash to Earth, and must possess human bodies to survive and continue their fight to the death. The internal struggle within the possessed persons is a central element of this story, and while Hal Clements young male character accepts the possession easily, Tadano's female character does not.

Very nice

Intricate illustrations and bizarre plot. My children enjoyed it and I hope they are not psychologically damaged by this rather sordid book.

Volume 1 Definitely Has My Hopes Up
26. Juli 2011
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I can't exactly remember how I found out about the manga 7 Billion Needles...I believe I read an article somewhere and saw a horror manga series that was "recommended"? That was all I had to know before I ordered volume 1, and pre-ordered the rest that were available. I'm always willing to take a chance on a potentially good horror manga series. I can't find too much information about 7 Billion Needles besides reviews of volume 1 . This may be due to this series being inspired by a novel called Needle. But this first volume left me wanting the rest of my order sooner! It's a great combination of the Horror and Coming of Age genres.
The opening was really unique and confusing, and I loved it. I enjoyed watching Hikaru as she tries to piece together these strange events. Hikaru is a well designed main character that is like no other character I've had the pleasure of reading. I've read a lot of series with "lone wolfs" in them before, but the feeling of being unable to communicate with others never felt so genuine in a manga until now. I want to know more about Hikaru and understand the events that resulted in her cutting herself off from others.
The art style is realistic (for manga) that is full of detail and really grabs me. The series remind me a bit of Parasyte so far, but the art style of this series is definitely superior when it comes to the designs of its humans. Currently I'm under the impression that this series consists of 4 volumes, because that's all I could pre-order up to and I could only find images of 4 volume covers. The fact that it may be a short series actually attracts me to it even more. As much as I love a long, involved, and detailed series, it's the ones that amaze me in 5 volumes or less that often end up leaving the most impact on me.
