Manga Adaptation ‘Heavenly Delusion’ Should Be On Anime Fans’ Radar
by Tito W. James
Within the safety of the walls, youths are raised in a nursery-style setting by robots. While life there may appear stale on the surface, the children are full of potential and curiosity. In many ways it is like a slice of heaven. The outside world is a hell-scape. It is almost entirely void of anything mechanical and is now inhabited by bizarre, yet powerful super-natural beings. Maru, with the aid of Kiruko, is out there crisscrossing what was once Tokyo for heaven. But after searching for so long, maybe heaven is more of an untenable dream than a potential reality.
Heavenly Delusion by Masakazu Ishiguro appears to the philosophical thriller genre that anime does so well. The trailer is purposefully mysterious. Even without English subtitles I found myself hooked and eagerly anticipating the anime’s release. Those who want to dive into the mystery can read the manga from Denpa Books.
