Manga Review: Shimizu no Ryosuke aka Immortal Hounds

Alternate Names: Fushi (Shinazu) no Ryouken | Fushi no Ryouken | 不死の猟犬
Author/Artist: Yasohachi Ryou
Genres: Action | Mystery | Seinen | Tragedy
Status: Ongoing
Rating: 3/5

Description:  Kenzaki Shin'ichi is leader of the Anti-Vector Task Squad. He's in charge of hunting down Vectors, humans that carry with them the deadly Resurrection Deficiency Syndrome, a disease that can keep someone from resurrecting when they die.

The story seems to be set in an alternative dimension or a futuristic society where most of the human race are able to resurrect themselves automatically after death unless it's a death due to old age. These humans are immune to all the diseases, except one,  Resurrection Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) which prevents the affected person from resurrecting after death. Human carriers of this disease are known as Vectors. There is a mysterious organization which protects the Vectors from execution by Anti-Vector Task Squad, and arranges for the shelter and fake IDs and documents for the Vectors. But even with these executions and arrests, the number of Vectors is at an all time high, which has resulted in the development of some conspiration therories regarding the same.

Is the government wrong? Is this organization aiming to cause bio terrorism by making more and more humans infected with RDS? How does this RDS spread among humans?

Yasohachi Ryou's story is available up to the 7th Chapter, and interestingly enough, I am waiting for the next chapter's arrival. The rating that I have provided is based on the first 7 chapters that I have enjoyed. In future I may decide to revise the rating based on the plot.

In a nutshell: If you are a sucker for Sci-fi, mystery and action, I would suggest you to give it a go.
