i can officially say that this was the okayest graphic novel i have yet read. i really have no opinion on this one. manga isn't really my thing i always have a hard time remembering the names. this was a creepy novel none the less. i cant really say who i would recommend this to because like i said, i'm no a manga person. the art in it is really cool even though my copy only had one page with color, but i like the black and white after that, it seems a lot less crowded without color and i really enjoy a more simplistic approach to this type of art style. This review is for all four volumes of 7 Billion Needles.This was on the border of being really interesting and making absolutely no sense to me. Everything was good until volume three when the subspecies and the Moderator were the focal point and things got very science-fictiony. It was intense.I think that ultimately the series was about friendship. It seems so simple and almost cheesy after all that, but when it all came down to it there seemed to be the overriding theme of loneliness. Once Hikaru was taken in by Nao and Saya she wasn't so lonely and was able to open up more. Which then prompted her to help Chika who she saw as herself before Nao and Saya. Hikaru became a spectator (who actually mostly just ignored everyone) to an active human. She participated in life which ended up allowing her to save the world.More sci-fi than I usually read, but I enjoyed it thoroughly!
What do You think about 7 Billion Needles, Volume 1 (2010)?
The first volume in an intriguing sci-fi manga series.

Creepy and intense, like the best manga should be.
