Liked the story as well. Couln't see it lasting longer other than restarting and him trying to get to the tower but would probley be very short, anyways still liked this one shot.

i loved the story. the presentation imo was really good, and if made into a manga you already have two stories, one of the fight before hand and then the after effect.

edit: i knew the artwork was similar, its the same guy who did Double Arts. hopefully his manga doesn't get cancelled this time.

Very interesting concept. I'd like to see this redone as a full-fledged manga in the future. Especially the development of Damore and his past.

cool dystopia.
i think it worked well as a oneshot. a volume might have been okay but any more than that and it would have become too drawn out. it was very cool.

I believe a volume or two would have done this one-shot more justice, but it was still done quite nicely. The surprise twist of Domore's true identity would have been harder to hide till the end, though.

Loved it the death <333

Liked the whole "mask" idea..
Perfect for a oneshot, as all the DETAILS aren't necessary.

Wow..
This one shot reminds me of Code Geass...
Lelouch... and him..

I definitely loved this! The concept of striving towards a utopia was nice - but then the twist for world power was good as well. I think that Rui got defeated too easily by Damore - but meh, that was fine. I liked Oly quite a lot and Damore's character was funny. The art was simple yet beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed this manga ^__^

This mangaka's stories are always so unique and out there :)



Amazing sig set thanks to -DraGonZ-

^ Agreed! I feel bad that I thought the only reason that he didn't wear a personant was because he was an exhibitionist... oh wait it was, since he already had the completed Arsona'! XD

Loved when Oly beat him up, and lol at Rui's appearance + relevation moment, gave me Star Wars vibes. Will check out more from this mangaka ^^

But Oly mentioned that her family had seen her face, so why didn't the wife recognise her husband at the end? Although I sure just looking around they would probably notice people more attractive anyway :P

As others have mentioned this could have been pretty cool as a volume or two, but the ending was pretty perfect... 'We are living our lives by abandoning our masks.' :)

Is it just me or is something...wrong?

The story takes place when the mask has been implemented for 100 years. But...Damore was alive when his grandfather made it and apologized to him. So wouldn't that be a conflict in time? Meaning, if he was alive when his grandfather was alive, how has the mask been implemented for 100 years? How could Damore be alive for both? Or are they not regular humans?

I liked it. The idea of "everyone in the world wearing a mask" is creepy, but interesting. Damore is funny, and the art is great.

I just assumed that it meant his grandfather desgined the system when he was young, and then created the super special awesome "naked" mask when he was older. It's still a stretch timeline wise, but it makes a bit more sense.

Lol... history books are going to get interesting now, seeing as "hentai" and "transformation" are written the same way or sumthin(?), nyahaha, I like it! And besides... a history book having a picture of such a COOL guy - well, what can I say? wish it was real - only for the sake of history, always for the sake of history ^o^

Funny how we went from "Kyaa! He groped me. That pervert!" to "Kyaa! You saw my face. That pervert". All in all, brilliantly done One Shot, could've worked well as a short series.

Wow that was actually cool, short and sweet! His grandfather built it but he intended to end anyway. Initially, I liked it because it was short but now that I have finished it, I wish it was longer. >_<

Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

I loved the unmasking scene at the end.

It would have been nice to see this concept written as a series.

One of the best in the volume, loved it so much!
What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli
