Mirai Nikki
I am planning to pick this up soon, but unfortunately I have only found 14 chapters, and I would finish that very quickly, so I am contemplating whether to start it now or not.
Does anyone know more about this series? Here is a pic of the manga cover: By: Esuno Sakae Genre: Shounen |

Well, I thought to myself, it's only 14 chapters long, what the hell, so I went ahead and read it, and I am pretty glad I did.
The first 2 chapters reminded me quite a bit of Death Note, but then that feeling goes away after a few chapters. The story is basically about a boy, who had no friends, and he would write diaries on his cellphone all day long. For a long time now, he has been seeing a god of some sort from time to time, and one day, the god granted him a special cellphone which displays his future diary entries, and along with 11 other people, they basically enter a battle royal game where the last person standing will inherit the god's throne. It's not as good as Death Note, but then it's hard to compare the two, since they are also quite different. Very interesting read. |

Due to unusual and life threatening situation, Yuki (The boy) met up with a girl, who is also a fellow Future Diary Holder(using a cellphone just like Yuki) named Yuna, who happens to be a stalker obsessed with Yuki, in fact her Future Diary records everything Yuki in the immediate future. But through her help, Yuki managed to avoid death when he faced inescapable death known as "DEAD END" through the future diary. As the deadly game of survival continues Yuki and Yuna began to have a relationship. By far an excellent read. No normal turn psycho turn normal bullshit like Shuffle and Gift. Yuna is 100% psycho since day one, yay! ^_^ Last edited by Flo; 2007-05-02 at 11:08. |

Mainly it's on chinese scanlations. As for the RAWS, you can pm me for its location.
By a stroke of luck I found these on 4chan in english, although is incomplete. Spoiler for spoilers, duh:

I unexpectedly find some translation of the prologue and half of chapter one on Anime-Source.Com, it's list as level 1 content, so everybody can read it.
I'm not familiar with Anime-Source.Com so I don't know if they would ever change the levels of a given content, but I would check those out while you still can just in case. seem interesting so far. |

And the second half of chapter one's scanlation is complete. Now that I've finished it I'm amazed I didn't immediately notice that Yuno was a psycho bishoujo, I just figured she was the type who liked the mess around with people's heads, but yeah she's totally the type. I read on the A-S forums that she only gets better as the story goes along, so I'm totally looking forward to it. (Yep, I'm a fan of the psycho bishoujo archetype...) Edit: Yuno not Yuna.
Edit: What I think I dislike about it is they overemphasize the psycho bishoujo "presence". Spoiler for Chapter 1:
Edit: One point I didn't quite understand about chapter 1, by the way. Spoiler for Chapter 1:
