This anime has gone downhill. I was being fooled by the pretty art from episode 1 and the fact that it was a Notamina series [they usually have potential].
Ok, so the graphics are nice. The ost...ok, but I hate all the songs Inori sings. They have no heart. And up until now I thought that the artist was bad, but after seeing episode 16 I'm starting to feel that maybe they lack heart on purpose?

Anyway, spoilers might follow so if you haven't seen the anime till episode 16 you might want to skip the rest. Or rather, you can read this and skip the anime ... instead, because I'm sure you won't want to watch it after you'll hear what I want to say.

This can somehow be split into 2 seasons. Season 1 are episode 1-12.
We see how our main character is described as your typical shounen main protagonist. Starts as a wimp, but he has the "ultimate power" to draw out voids. Everything is rater predictable and slow peaced. He develops very slow and remains pretty week till the ending of the first season. This apply to the rest of the characters as well. Maybe except Gai and the president chick.
Anyway: they fight for freedom and in the end they save the world from the evil sister that was the one who crated this town to begin with. Confused? Just wait, it gets better...
If things would have stopped here everyone would have just rated this show as average. An average shounen with a predictable plot and good art. We can dig it.
Then it comes season 2: episode 13-22.
I have seen only the first 4 episodes from this one [aka till ep. 16] but I can tell that this show is using the antihero in the most horrible way possible.
So, let's start with the first 2 episodes. Everything seems to be going well, they are trying to get better after the war but they are still in quarantine after what happened in episode 12. Of course things will get shitty and the government decides to annihilate all the infected zone without letting any of the survivors out. And how do they do it? By shrinking the space they can go to from time to time. Now that's like applying torture to a group of people who know that they are going to die in the end. Why not just kill them from the start? That I did not understand, but it helped the anime develop into one hell of a "full of shit" anime. [please excuse my words...it's because of the frustration]
So now they need to find a way to get out and not remain without supplies, but it seems that Shu is too kind and is not able to make the right decisions. So after one of the girls dies in a fight he becomes this super evil king that thinks he can save people by killing other people. [Death Note anyone?]
And then his mother, in some sort of a lab, is resurrecting Gai for god knows what reason + she's working with the antibodies now. Plus Inori goes all berserk on the president girl and on some classmates and kills them with cold blood. I knew she was heartless, but that thing now made her no. 1 evil character in this show.
So we have it like this: Shu [going all berserk in his own world; Death Note style], Inori [the ultimate expressionless assassin or something like that; God, her face annoys me!], the antibodies [evil from the start], Shu's mother [working for the antibodies], the head of the mafia going away after his granddaughter is killed.
Is it just me or is this show left with no main good characters? If you transform all your remaining heroes into anti-heroes who will it be left to fight the bad guys? At this point I'm not rotting for anyone anymore. I really hope they'll just throw a big atomic bomb over Japan and kill them all. [and I really hope no one misunderstands my post, I just want all of them dead except Ayase and the remaining sane people around there].
There is a very small chance that this show can be saved, so I'm making my review now. If anything will change by the time I reach ep 22 I'll come and revise it.

Story: 9/10
Some parts are a bit unrealistic. For exampel: Manami is almost ready to kill herself after she is dumped, but when her best friend "theoretically" betrays her she is determinated to desttroy her. And about the part when she is dumped, in the end we see that she can actually control her boyfriend very well. She didn't have to go through all that drama for it. Ayumu is not weak, she just needs somebody that's all. You can see that she changes completly after she becomes Miki Hatori's friend. It's hart to fight only for yourself. But when you fight for someone you love ... [for example a friend] you become unstoppable.
Even if at the begining the charachter is pretty much alone, people around her start to notice that she is not week and that the girls in her clas are really exagerating.
SPOILER
The boys in her class will try to help her and in the end the entire school will turn against Manami and her gang because they will really go overboard.
[/SPOILER]
So even if at the begining this story looks sadic, you'll see that it hase a much deeper meaning. It's about going down, so hard to the buttom that it becomes unbearable, but also about the things you need to go up again.

Art: 10/10
I really like the mangaka's drawing style. Beautiful eyes and beautiful charachters. She has no unnecessary details. Clean and simple are the works that describe the art best.

Character: 10/10
Very extreme characters.
Minami is the perfect bitch: she is selfish, a liar and thinks that nobody besides her deservs to be happy [unlist not happier]. In the end we descover that she is mentally unstable, just like her boyfriend.
Hatori: is the strong willed girl. She hides her pain and decides to live her life to the fulest. She is kinde and determinated. I finde her to be extreme because in a way she is too perfect. Still, I loved her character
Ayumu: our main charachter is the shy quiet type that doesn't want to fight with anybody. Life is not so good with her because, except for Hatori, she discovers to be surrounded by mean, egoistic people. Because she doesn't want to be the same she is cast aside and in the end tormented till the point of no returning back. After she descovers her first true friend she becomes stronger.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I've felt every feeling that Ayumu had. I've hated Minami to the point of wanting to kill the mangaka that made her, I've loved Hatori. I even cried when she saved Ayumu and gaved her confidence. She was so wise. This manga made me cry, made me laugh, scream... everything. I finde it very complex and very catchy.

Overall 10/10
I don't have enough words to describe this series, maybe because I can't tell the exact feeling that it sends you. You'll finde yoursel traped betwen the carachters feelings. You'll love them and hate them. I personaly enjoyed every chapter of it.

Conclusion:
It's a greate drama. I personaly recomand this. It's currently in my top 5. I just hope tokyopop releases all the volumes so I can have this story completed ^^.
