If you're looking for a non bias review, this isn't one. For myself, this is exactly the manga I have been searching for. Scouring never ending lists of anime in looking for a mature, esper/super ability, well drawn, high action, takes place in a microcosm (prison,) and has several main characters with interesting abilities kind of manga.
I found all of this in Area D. I shall make some attempt to be objective especially since I am writing this at chapter 36 and feel it's a bit early to rate the story and characters in the middle of their being established.

Area D was a frustrating experience.
The manga starts well, it introduces the concept of powers clearly and at the same time gives a nice dimension to each character that will be relevant to the story. It adds to a powerful art that delivers exciting moments and already captivates the reader. The characters are very charismatic and the author manages to tell the story in a way that makes them seem more human and independent instead of just supporting the protagonist.
