Computer Software Engineering Career and Job Highlights
Computer Software Engineering Career Overview
The world has felt a the explosive impact of computers and the IT industry in its very core and the increasing need for computers in the daily life of people has made it imperative that new designs and new computer software systems be developed so that advancing technology can be applied in a growing range of applications. The work assigned to people who are called computer software engineers evolves very fast, which reflects the changes in technology as well as the increase of new specializations which keep cropping up in this field along with the preferences and practices of employers. The principles and knowledge of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis are employed by computer software engineers for designing, developing, testing, and evaluating the software and the systems that computers use to carry out various applications.
Software engineers who work in applications or systems development are engaged in analyzing user needs and designing, constructing, testing, and maintaining computer applications software or systems. Various kinds of software like software for operating systems and network distribution, and compilers, which convert programs for execution on a computer, are developed by a software engineer. In the programming or coding fields, software engineers give instructions to a computer, line by line; on how on perform a function or operation. These engineers are also geared to tackle technical problems and hitches. Although these engineers need to possess string programming skills, they are more occupied with the development of algorithms and in analyzing and solving problems in programming than with writing codes.
Computer Applications Software Engineers
Computer applications software engineers are engaged in analyzing user needs as well as designing, constructing, and maintaining computer applications software and specialized utility programs. Various programming languages are used by these engineers, which are chosen regarding the required purpose for which a computer program would be used. C and C++ are the programming languages that are most commonly while Java, with Fortran and COBOL are used less extensively. Either packaged systems and software systems or specific customized applications are designed and developed by software engineers.
Computer Systems Software Engineers
Computer systems software engineers are involved in coordinating the construction of the computer systems of an organization, maintaining them and planning their future growth. They work with a particular company and coordinate the needs and demands of the computer needs of every department by ordering, inventory, billing, and payroll recordkeeping. Suggestions are also made about a computer systems' technical direction. A company's intranet (the network which links computers inside a organization and ease communication among the various departments) is also constructed by these engineers.
Systems software engineers work for companies that need configuration, implementation, and installation of complete computer systems. These engineers may also be part of the marketing or sales staff, and serve as the chief technical resource for these sales officers, staff, as well as customers. They may even engage in product sales and provide continued technical support to the buyers and consumers.
Computer software engineers are usually a part of the team that designs and develops advanced hardware, software, and systems. Thus, until a finished product is developed and released, workers from various branches including those of engineering, marketing, production and design collaborate with each other, of which computer engineers are a basic part.
In 2002, computer software engineers had around 675,000 jobs. Around 394,000 were computer applications software engineers while about 281,000 were computer systems software engineers. Though these engineers are employed in every industry, the largest concentration of computer software engineers (about 30 percent) is in computer systems design and related services. A large number of computer software engineers are also hired by other industries that include government agencies, producers of computers and related electronic equipment, as well as colleges and universities.
The employers of computer software engineers cover startup companies to established industry leaders and thus include a large number of clientele. As the use of the Internet, e-mail, and other communications systems increases, firms from electronics to engineering which were traditionally associated as unrelated disciplines will expand, hiring more and more such engineers. Engineering firms specializing in building bridges and power plants, for example, also hire computer software engineers for designing and developing advanced geographic data systems and automated drafting systems. Communications industries also require computer software engineers, with whose help the personal communications market could be tapped into. The major communications companies have many job opportunities for both computer software applications and computer systems engineers.
A growing number of computer software engineers are also employed on a temporary or contract basis (with many being self-employed) who work on their own as consultants. Some of these consultants work for firms that specialize in the development and maintenance of the client companies' Web sites and intranets. Consulting opportunities for software engineers are expected to increase because businesses need help to manage, upgrade, and customize increasingly complex computer systems. In 2002, around 21,000 computer software engineers were self-employed.
Sotware Engineering Career Training & Job Qualifications
Most employers have a preference for candidates who have at least a bachelor's degree, a broad knowledge, and experience with a variety of computer systems and technologies. The common degree concentrations for applications software engineers are computer science or software engineering; for systems software engineers it is computer science or computer information systems. A Graduate degree is preferred for some of the more complex work.
The academic programs in software engineering emphasize software and might be offered either as a degree option or in conjunction with computer science degrees. The increase of emphasis on computer security proves that software engineers with advanced degrees, including mathematics and systems design, will be sought after by software developers, government agencies, and consulting firms which specialize in information assurance and security. Candidates who seek software engineering jobs will enhance their employment opportunities by participation in internship or co-op programs which are offered through their schools. These experiences will provide the students with both theoretical knowledge and experience, making them more attractive candidates for employers though inexperienced college graduates will usually be hired by large computer and consulting firms which train new hires in intensive, company-based programs. Many firms mentor the new employees are mentored and the mentors usually have an input into the new hires' evaluations.
For systems software engineering jobs which need professionals who have a college degree, a bachelor's degree in computer science or computer information systems is common. For systems engineering jobs which place less emphasis on employees having a computer-related degree, computer training program which lead to a certification are offered by systems software vendors, including Microsoft, Novell, and Oracle. These programs usually extend from 1 to 4 weeks, but the worker is not required to attend the classes in order to sit for a certification exam; many study guides and materials are also available which help students prepare for the exams. However, many training authorities are of the view that that program certification alone is not sufficient for most software engineering jobs.
That is the reason that professional certification is now being offered by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society. In order for a candidate to be classified as a Certified Software Development Professional, he needs a bachelor's degree as well as work experience which shows a person's mastery of a relevant body of knowledge, and they must pass a written exam.
The people who are interested in jobs as computer software engineers require strong problem-solving and analytical skills. They must also have good communication skills so that they can efficiently interact with team members, other staff, and the customers they meet. Also, a good deal of concentration as well as an eye for detail is required of these candidates because they often deal with a number of tasks simultaneously.
Like in most occupations, the opportunities for promotions for computer software engineers directly relate to experience. The entry-level computer software engineers are likely to test and verify ongoing designs and as they gain more experience, they may be involved in designing and developing software. Eventually, these engineers may advance to become project managers, managers of information systems, or chief information officers. Some computer software engineers with an experience and expertise of several years may be offered lucrative opportunities to work as systems designers or independent consultants or may start their own computer consultation firms.
These days, because of the rapid technological advances in the computer field, employers always demand new skills. Thus computer software engineers must continually strive to keep abreast of the changes in this dynamic field and upgrade the level of their knowledge and skill. In order to help them keep up-to-date with the advancing technology, continuing education and professional development seminars are offered by employers and software vendors, colleges and universities, private training institutions, and professional computing societies.
Computer Software Engineering Job and Employment Opportunities
Computer software engineers are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations from 2002 to 2012. Rapid employment growth in the computer systems design and related services industry, which employs the greatest number of computer software engineers, should result in highly favorable opportunities for those college graduates with at least a bachelor's degree in computer engineering or computer science and practical experience working with computers. Employers will continue to seek computer professionals with strong programming, systems analysis, interpersonal, and business skills.
Despite the recent downturn in information technology, employment of computer software engineers is expected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations, as businesses and other organizations adopt and integrate new technologies and seek to maximize the efficiency of their computer systems. Job growth will not be as rapid as during the previous decade however, as the software industry begins to mature and as routine software engineering work is increasingly outsourced overseas. Competition among businesses will continue to create an incentive for increasingly sophisticated technological innovations, and organizations will need more computer software engineers to implement these changes. In addition to jobs created through employment growth, many job openings will result annually from the need to replace workers who move into managerial positions, transfer to other occupations, or leave the labor force.
Demand for computer software engineers will increase as computer networking continues to grow. For example, the expanding integration of Internet technologies and the explosive growth in electronic commerce—doing business on the Internet—have resulted in rising demand for computer software engineers who can develop Internet, intranet, and World Wide Web applications. Likewise, expanding electronic data-processing systems in business, telecommunications, government, and other settings continue to become more sophisticated and complex. Growing numbers of systems software engineers will be needed to implement, safeguard, and update systems and resolve problems. Consulting opportunities for computer software engineers also should continue to grow as businesses seek help to manage, upgrade, and customize their increasingly complex computer systems.
New growth areas will continue to arise from rapidly evolving technologies. The increasing uses of the Internet, the proliferation of Web sites, and "mobile" technology such as the wireless Internet have created a demand for a wide variety of new products. As individuals and businesses rely more on hand-held computers and wireless networks, it will be necessary to integrate current computer systems with this new, more mobile technology. Also, information security concerns have given rise to new software needs. Concerns over "cyber security" should result in businesses and government continuing to invest heavily in security software that protects their networks and vital electronic infrastructure from attack. The expansion of this technology in the next 10 years will lead to an increased need for computer engineers to design and develop the software and systems to run these new applications and that will allow them to be integrated into older systems.
As with other information technology jobs, employment growth of computer software engineers may be tempered somewhat by an increase in contracting out of software development abroad. Firms may look to cut costs by shifting operations to foreign countries with highly educated workers who have strong technical skills.

Discover the foods of Portugal with Portuguese Cooking: The Traditional Cuisine of Portugal by Carol Robertson, with recipes like Piri-piri, Caldeirada (Portuguese Fish Soup), and Almond Cake with Ovos Moles.
by Carol Robertson
As the old adage goes: the key to a traveler's heart is through their stomach. For a country that is merely 150 by 350 miles, Portugal boasts not only an extensive pallet of delectable cuisine, but also a musical language and stunning ocean beaches. Part travel journal, part cookbook, Portuguese Cooking: The Traditional Cuisine of Portugal, by Carol Robertson, takes a candid look into the land and rich culture of Portugal.
Robertson portrays Portugal as only a seasoned traveler could, using an anthropological eye to explore the country's spectacular architecture and seafaring locals. With the aid of David's evocative, full color photographs, she delves into the history behind prominent landmarks and the climate responsible for the country's diverse foliage.
Portuguese Cooking focuses on the cooking culture of Portugal, defined by the many different peoples—European, Airican; and-Muslim—who have historically flourished in the region. Many Portuguese dishes incorporate seafood, and together with the many multicultural influences, create an eccentric medley of flavors, brought to life through the author's colorful descriptions of simple and delicious recipes.
Portuguese Cooking reads like the literary masterpiece of a travel cookbook, guiding us through the most remote and bustling Portuguese destinations, as we are presented with a beautiful and expressive depiction of what the country has to offer the traveler, the historian, and the food lover within all of us.Some of the tasty, traditional Portuguese recipes include:
Portuguese Cooking also includes a primer on ports, Madeiras, and other wines from the country's notable wine tradition.
Author Carol Robertson and photographer David Robertson have traveled extensively in South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe, but sustain a special interest and love of all things Mediterranean. Carol is an artist and teacher, and David is a retired professor of photography and design at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. They now make their home in Vero Beach, Florida.

Kiley Neushul/USA water polo
Team USA, which beat the Italians, 10-8, for the gold medal at the FINA World League Super Final two weeks ago, grabbed an early lead and never looked back. Maddie Musselman, the lone high school player on the national team, opened the scoring as the Americans took a 2-0 lead in the first period.
"We played a very intelligent and disciplined game against a great opponent," said USA coach Adam Krikorian.
Both teams struggled on the power play with the United States converting two of eight and Italy converting one of six. Team USA did not attempt a penalty shot while Italy scored on one of its two penalty shots.

Virtual reality
Simon & Schuster, Aug 15, 1992 - Computers - 415 pages
Imagine being able to "walk" into your computer and interact with any program you create. It sounds like science fiction, but it's science fact. Surgeons now rehearse operations on computer-generated "virtual" patients, and architects "walk through" virtual buildings while the actual structures are still in blueprints. In Virtual Reality, Howard Rheingold takes us to the front lines of this revolutionary new technology that creates computer-generated worlds complete with the sensations of touch and motion, and explores its impact on everything from entertainment to particle physics.

On July 1st, Minerva (NASDAQ:NERV) priced its IPO deep in the hole at $6/share, with Jefferies leading the deal along with decent co-managers Baird and JMP. The shares have opened for trading quietly and are changing hands at $6.16.
This is an early/mid-stage biotechnology company which means commercial success is far off, but the areas the company is targeting (schizophrenia, depression, insomnia and Parkinson's disease) are all large, unmet medical needs.
Probably the biggest question here post-IPO is what program(s) will be cut or postponed since only 1/2 the money needed was raised in the IPO. We don't know if the company will do a secondary offering after more results are in hand, or whether a partner might license some rights and enable milestone payments to help offset some of their funding needs.
The limited investor enthusiasm for shares of NERV is partly due to the fact that they have acquired rather than developed some of these compounds, so it's unclear how strong their "R&D engine" is and it's too early to prove if they have a strong commercialization team or not. Generally, biotechnology companies with an acquisition strategy get lower valuations until they can demonstrate an ability to turn those assets into revenue and profits.
A few salient points regarding Minerva's drug positioning:
- Schizophrenia: This is the lead indication for their MIN-101 compound which is entering Phase IIB trials. MIN-101 reduces negative symptoms (emotional disruption, withdrawal, inability to sustain an activity) and helps improve cognitive impairments involving motor speed, verbal fluency, and memory. There are also some positive effects on insomnia, which tends to accompany the schizophrenia. There's certainly opportunity in this market as it's typical for a mix of available drugs to be used in treating this disease. Phase IIB results are expected early in 2016.
- Depression: MIN-117 could be be a big improvement over treatments like Prozac, with a much faster onset for the treatment and fewer negative side effects, especially sexual disfunction. Phase IIB results are due late in 2015.
- Insomnia - Drugs like Ambien increase "sleep drive" while other treatments focus on blocking the "wake drive", but they all have some serious side effects ranging from impaired daytime functioning, interactions with alcohol, abnormal sleep patterns, and are often subject to abuse. It's an early stage drug, but MIN-202 targets the "wake drive" with fewer side effects and efficacy at least equal to drugs like Ambien. Initially, this drug will be looked at to treat insomnia that accompanies depression. MIN-202 will be evaluated (in a Phase IB) as a primary insomnia treatment into the end of 2015.
Minerva also has a glimmer of a possible treatment for Parkinson's disease (MIN-301), but it is so early stage that it's hard to include it in any investment case right now.
With a projected post-IPO share count of 19M, the market capitalization will be just $114M. If any of these drugs actually make it out of the clinical stage, the stock will be worth much more. However, we note that an existing investor like J&J (NYSE:JNJ) isn't putting more money in at this point, so it's hard to have much conviction as an outsider.
Still, this is one name to have on the biotechnology radar screen. Solid results from Phase IIB trials would attract more investors and potential partners. If the shares move up, we'd expect to see a secondary offering to make up for some of the IPO financing shortfall.

USDA issues fire prevention memo in advance of July 4th holiday
© Copyright Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.
WASHINGTON, July 3, 2012 - To further address the severity of current wildland fire activity across the western states, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack issued a joint memorandum to direct federal land managers to take additional measures to help reduce the risks of new wildfires.
"As we continue our aggressive response to wildfires across the West, we must continue to do all we can to support our firefighters, first responders, and their families," said Salazar. "Protecting human life and ensuring public safety is and will remain our top priority, and these measures will help us minimize the risks of new wildfires on America's public lands."
On average, the USDA Forest Service and the Department of the Interior bureaus respond to about 16,500 wildfires per year that occur on land under their jurisdiction and assist state and local agencies in responding to a significant number of the approximately 60,000 wildfires per year that occur on land under their jurisdiction.
"As we move into the 4th of July holiday under difficult wildfire conditions, let's use this opportunity to thank the men and women fighting to keep our citizens safe, and remember to take easy steps to prevent and prepare for wildfires by visiting www.nifc.gov," he added.
Building on existing federal and state policies designed to decrease the likelihood of accidental fires, the joint memorandum directs federal land managers to prohibit the personal use of fireworks on lands managed by the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming until July 8, 2012. These local managers will also enforce additional fire restrictions or public land closures as appropriate for the 4th of July holiday and heighten law enforcement and fire prevention patrols in critical areas to ensure that all applicable restrictions are enforced. Many states, such as Colorado and Wyoming, have also put in place new restrictions on the use of fires and fireworks during this time.
"As our country celebrates its independence, the aggressive wildland fire fight continues," Vilsack said. "I want to thank the thousands of brave men and women on the front lines who are battling these fires under extremely difficult conditions, and protecting homes, communities, and cultural and economic resources. We ask our citizens to be extra cautious while following open flame guidelines and to review the fire prevention guidance at www.nifc.gov."
Additional measures include prohibiting new prescribed fires in geographic areas where Preparedness Level is at 4 or 5 - which currently includes the Rocky Mountain Area, Eastern Great Basin Area, and Southwest Area - and requiring regional or state level approval to initiate any new prescribed fire in all other geographic areas. Each Preparedness Level has specific management directions. As the Preparedness Levels rise, more federal and state employees become available for fire mobilization if needed.
Agencies and bureaus are asked to review their procedures to ensure that the safety of firefighters and the public continue to be the highest priority at every level of the decision-making process during fire suppression. These measures will remain in effect until the National Multi-Agency Coordinating group determines a national Preparedness Level 3 or below. On June 27th, NMAC raised the preparedness level to 4, on a scale of 1-5.

EPA technical experts recommend strengthening health safeguards for ground-level ozone pollution, commonly known as smog
Sharyn Stein, 202-572-3396, email@example.com
New technical analysis from expert staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adds to the growing body of evidence that our current health-based ozone standard must be strengthened to protect Americans from the dangerous pollution more commonly known as smog, according to Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).
The report by EPA staff recommends Administrator Gina McCarthy tighten the national health-based standard for ground-level ozone from its current level of 75 parts per billion to a health protective standard that ranges between 60 to 70 parts per billion. An independent panel of scientists made a similar recommendation to EPA earlier this year.
"We know that ground-level ozone, or smog, is a dangerous air pollutant that is linked to asthma attacks and other serious heart and lung diseases. Scientific evidence continues to mount demonstrating that we need to strengthen our nation's ozone standard in order to protect public health," said
Dr. Elena Craft, EDF Health Scientist. "We urge EPA to move forward with a more protective health-based standard without delay."
EPA finalized the current national ground-level ozone standards in 2008 at 75 parts per billion – which contradicted unanimous advice from the statutorily-established Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and from the nation's leading medical societies.
According to a 2010 analysis by EPA, a standard of 60 parts per billion would, when met:
- Prevent up to 12,000 premature deaths
- Prevent up to 21,000 hospitalizations
- Provide $100 billion in associated economic benefits
EPA has a court deadline of December 1st to propose a national ozone standard that protects the health of America's communities and families. EDF, together with public health and environmental associations, has taken legal action to compel EPA to carry out these responsibilities under our nation's clean air laws.

The Club are pleased to announce further details of this season's 'Meet the Players' evening which will be held on Thursday 25th August from 6pm at Goldington Road, exclusively for 2016-17 Season Ticket holders.
The new incentive was again included in the Season Ticket package following the success of last season's inaugural session with an early chance to hear the views of the Director of Rugby Mike Rayer, new captain Michael Le Bourgeois and other selected players ahead of the Championship campaign.
The Blues arrive back at Goldington Road this Friday night for the opening home match of the season against European and English Champions Saracens as rugby returns to Bedford with a bang (Kick Off 19:45).
Fresh from a very successful pre-season training camp in Cardiff with a healthy 66-14 victory against Pontypridd, Mike Rayer's men will be targeting another good performance versus the sizeable task Mark McCall's troops will deliver.
The Club would like to extend their thanks to Georgia Nash who has helped raise funds for a new permanent defibrillator in the Eagle Bar at Goldington Road.
Whilst the Club hope supporters will not have a need for it, the defib device, which gives a high energy electric shock to the heart to someone who is in cardiac arrest, has proved a lifesaving addition to many sporting grounds around the UK.
The Blues Medical team already have one pitchside and the on-site Ambulance is more than well equipped, but to have a permanent defib at Goldington Road all-year round is a welcome addition.
97 days on from the Championship play-off semi-final defeat to Bristol, Bedford Blues were back in action in preparation for the coming campaign as they defeated Welsh Principality side Pontypridd 14-66 on Saturday afternoon.
The Blues, who were fielding 12 new faces in the match day squad, ran in ten tries during the course of the game with Pat Tapley securing a hat-trick, debutant scrum half Tom James scored a brace while Jacob Fields, Elliot Clements-Hill, Jordan Burns, Jason Hill and Jack Culverhouse all crossed the whitewash. Myles Dorrian converted five of the tries with Jake Sharp chipping over three more.
Seven of Bedford Blues new signings will start the pre-season clash against Pontypridd on Saturday afternoon.
The game, which kicks off at 2.30pm at Cilfynydd RFC, will be the first competitive action of the season for Mike Rayer's squad and follows a training camp in Cardiff.
As well as the seven debutants in the starting line-up, there will also be five new faces on the replacements bench as the Blues coaches make full use of the squad in preparation for the campaign ahead. Mike Howard will captain the team with newly appointed skipper Michael Le Bourgeois among the replacements.
Bedford Blues are delighted to announce that Michael Le Bourgeois has been chosen as captain for the forthcoming Green King IPA Championship season.
Booj, as he is more commonly known, joined the Blues in 2013 having come through the ranks at Jersey, plying most of his rugby at outside-half or full-back. The 26-year-old has continued his development at the Blues and has become one of the most consistent performing centres in the league.
The Followers have been putting in a superb shift this summer helping prepare the ground for the new season, and now it's time for the big final push!
This Saturday and throughout the rest of August, Phil Novis and Baz Townsend will lead the tidy up at Goldington Road to help maintain the facilities for the coming campaign - and they need your help!
The Club have invested significant sums this year on a facilities project at the home of Bedford Blues, but need the support of the followers to complement the work with an array of smaller jobs including painting, weeding and general tidying, as well as some larger jobs.
Bedford Blues are thrilled to announce that their new Community Rugby Department will be headed up by former player and current coach Ben Gulliver.
Gulliver has an impressive playing CV having competed at the highest level with both Worcester Warriors and Leicester Tigers. The lock started his career with the Saracens Academy before playing for Coventry, Plymouth Albion, Cornish Pirates, Bedford Blues and, most recently, Ampthill.
Bedford Blues are pleased to announce the launch of a new Print @ Home Ticketing System ahead of the new season with tickets for the pre-season matches against Saracens and Pontypridd available now.
The new partnership with Eclipse Ticketing will enable fans to purchase tickets online and print off at home before being scanned through the turnstiles at Goldington Road on match day.
The Club have further discounted online ticket sales with a huge £4.00 saving online over match day prices for the Saracens match and all Championship games this season.
The Bedford Blues Community Rugby Department is excited to announce that the first of its rugby camps will be taking place in August.
The inaugural pre-season rugby camp will be open to players of all ages and abilities with boys and girls being welcomed to the sessions which take place over three days at Goldington Road.
Youngsters will be able to train as professional rugby players while also being put through their paces with a variety of drills including core skills, evasion tactics and fun-packed games all under the close tutelage of experienced players and coaches.

Once again Forbes magazine has published a list of the twenty five richest counties in the U.S. and Howard County came in at number three.
"Howard County, Md., a suburb of Baltimore, has a standout school system with standardized test scores that consistently beat out the national average, and median household incomes of $101,710."
We're moving up. This past December, The Huffington Post ranked HoCo as the fifth richest and they used a higher median income number.
Go figure.
According to Forbes the richest county in America is Loudon County in Virginia.

Bohemia Glass Tile series
These lovely glass mosaics add interest and elegance to the environment surrounding them. The unique mini-brick glass tiles are arranged in a traditional offset pattern. From bold green and blue tones, to muted brown, blue and yellow tones or classic white, you'll find a mix of color to go with any décor, whether your intent is for the glass tile to accent, or blend in with the surrounding environment.
Bohemia's opulent color palette has been especially loved in pools and hot tubs, but is just as easily suited for interior walls, kitchen countertops and backsplashes to light residential floors. This glass tile line also comes paper-face mounted, meaning you'll get maximum contact between the tile and the setting material, ensuring a durable installation that can last for years to come.
Available in an alluring array of blended, naturalistic colors; these glass tiles are approximately 1/4" thick and semi-transparent.
Subtle shade variations within each sheet are inherent as part of the character and unique beauty of this glass tile line.
Glass Tile size: approx. 1-1/4" x 5/8" | Sq. ft. per sheet: approx. 1.10
Please note: Computer monitors vary in how they show color. Photographic lighting can also affect the look of tile. We strongly recommend ordering a sample sheet or swatch card before placing an order.

Originally when I picked up this manga I expected it to be a little bit more Hunger Games. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not. If anything, it's somewhere between your average fight-based YA dystopian novel and X-Men with a good dash of Doctor Who for time travel fun.
Time travel, surprisingly, drives this fast-paced manga. There's the survival elements, of course, but the idea of changing the present so that an ill future can be avoided definitely is at the foundation of the story. It's still a shounen action manga - lots of psychic powers and fight scenes.
The art is easy to follow. I didn't have near as much trouble as with Trigun. Good character deisgn and ideas as well.
The characters' names are difficult for me to remember but by the end I could distinguish between them fairly well. The use of scars in character design helped me to distinguish between appearances. I absolutely loved the kids. (Marie's adult character design and the cheap jokes that were made at her expense bugged me, however)
My main two quibbles with the characters, though, are: (1) the underuse of Oboro (maybe because the manga was cancelled?) and (2) there are so many that each individual character is not as memorable for it despite having memorable groups of characters. (The children for example) They're good - but they don't have individuality. Ah, well. You can't have everything.
There are no comments - leave one to be the first!
