This is a wonderful manga that actually is like a book. It's not 10 pages and tahdah you're done. You get quit a bit of story here for your money. This manga is right from the Maximum Ride books, so you're not getting any extras thrown in that you didn't know about. The artwork is awesome and helps put into perspective who the baddies are and what they look like. The story line is very quick as it is action packed and leaves you wanting to see more after the end of the book. The artwork is also very well done. No extra fluff, just what exactly needs to be told and shown to the reader. A very well done manga.

Maximum and the other five bird children have been left alone for the past few years in a remote cabin in the middle of nowhere.

But the night Angel, the youngest of the six children, gets taken by the Erasers, the remaining five know they have to go and

She has most likely been taken back to the "School." The "School" is the most horrible place to the children and somewhere they never wanted to have to return. But they have to go for Angel; she's one of their own.
The children head out on a daring rescue attempt to save Angel. They encounter more Erasers and other hardships along the way. But not everyone is out to harm the special bird children.
