[edit] Criticism
When this manga was first serialized, it was criticised by many readers that it is so similar to Death Note. How the main character is so bored of the world that he wants to change it, and he is about the same age as Light Yagami.[2] In addition, several panels were shown to be very similar looking to those from Death Note. However, from chapter 2, more plot was revealed with the main character realizing that he is able to change the world with hypnosis. Although, he is mind controlling people to kill themselves, rather than the use of note as in Death Note.
