Afterschool Charisma

Description

St. Kleio Academy is a very exclusive school: all of the students are clones of famous historical figures such as Beethoven, Queen Elizabeth I, Napoleon, Mozart, and Freud. All of them, that is, except for Shiro Kamiya. As Shiro struggles to adapt to this unusual campus, St. Kleio’s first graduate, a clone of John F. Kennedy, is killed. Are the clones doomed to repeat the fate of their genetic progenitors, or can they create their own destinies? And how does a normal boy like Shiro fit in?

Amazing!

mimi

I love the whole premise of this series. (but that's probably just my history geek/sci-fi fan talking) The characters are adorable, the art is very good, and the plot is fun and twisty!
Please, please post more chapters! (especially 8-24)

Anyone?

Me

Does anyone know a site that I can read Afterschool Charisma on for free? Please tell me. -_-

Kuroe

Buonaparte

Maybe he's a Shiro prototype?

Where's chapter 20?

someone

I have been waiting for new chapters for after school charisma to come out for sooo long. I've been using this website to read them, because I can't find them anywhere ell's. Could you please put chapter 20 back up? I missed it and realy need to read it. Thanks.

The Clones of ??

Chaos Darkrose

When will they figure out who Shiro is, because they first his name is kai then they change the clones name to shiro but do they figure out who he realy is??

???

KYD

I'm confused. Which Kai didhe hit. Still vouching for Almighty Dolly plushies. That would be so awesome!

Yay :D New Chapter

Fan

Love it :D Now we are really getting somewhere on the cloning stuff. Competition among clones XD

Humm

Darkmoon-chan

I'm confused about Shiro... I don't know if he's a clone or not, and I'm wondering who the guy with the long jacket was (chapter 7), the one who seemed to be the chief. He doesn't appear to be Kai, He seems younger...

oh please oh please oh...

beru

...please let it only be a month to the next release!

Thank you.

Yesss!

Mizukibull

A new chapter! Finally!
Clones of clones, weird plot twists, awesome Nightingale... this chapter has everything.
I love how Freud and Jung interact with each other. :---)

Finallyyyy

Shini

I fell in love with Jung x3

Nice!

Kenkishi

Things are getting interesting again. I hope that as the story of the past unfolds we'll get our answers concerning some plot holes here and there.
Thank you.

Finally the new update!

tinkeroftime

I really love the new twist and learning about the other clones past. I wanted to know what made them go rogue. I just wonder why there are so many kai's? and why was this our shiro raised when the others weren't?

All in all, I can't wait for next month!

wow

linnea

the other nightingale is totally badass XD
I feel like this chapter was to short, i want to know more real badly :I

Clones of Clones?!

firegirl22

OMG. I can't believe there are lots of Shiros/Kais.... I already have a feeling Kai is a good guy, but I never thought... Oooo~

I'm falling in love with Freud. He's just like my ideal. :blush:

Dont mean to be rude

slighty urked fangirl

VOLUME 5! VOLUME 5! China already has volume 5. We eagerly await the new release! Why are there like 10 Kai, shiro, whatevers! We must know. BTW, why doesnt anyone sell those almighty Dolly things. That would be cool ASC merchandise.

What happened?

Ran

Perhaps I was spoiled by the monthly updates, but I was wondering what happened to July's update? ó__o I really wanted to see how this story develops. Excelent plot, can't wait for more

wow

Pauly

Amazing!

don't give up

hitler's favorite

I would just die if Hitler tries to kill himself in vol.5.. or something even worse. :(

Great!

Angelamica

I feel sorry for Hitler actually, he was so sweet and kind, and then when all of his hopes were shattered he went beserk. It's sad D:

Woo! Now we're gonna know about the Kai's!!

It's cute how Shiro is taking care of Pandora now.


Update soon pah-lease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Can't wait any longer..

Julian Batute

I'm so eager to read the next volume... I really love this manga....

True colors

Numbuh 23

So, Hitler's true colors is finally revealed...Is he that obsessed with the Almighty Dolly?

And... I can't help but notice that Napoleon looks pretty hot in a hospital outfit... *blushes*

For Chapter 25

Prez. Kennedy

I think they should have a young Robert Kennedy for taking the next running president on. That would be neat, but the way this is going everything is fallin' apart so hold off Bobby, Hitler may kill him any way, Hitler will be killed for long by now any how like the orginal Hitler. *BLAM-BLAM*

This is getting awesomer

tinkeroftime

Every wait is worth it and I'm a happy camper finally getting to know about the previous generation! I wonder what could have happened! Sadly I must wait for next time. Oh well. Just adds to the suspense to this awesomely written manga.

Frued & JFK (Chap. 24)

Prez. Kennedy

Frued is right, Kennedy is from the generation before them. Why did President J.F. Kennedy's friends kill him for? Did they think he would be better than them by surviving his killing? No Clone Oswald? Where IS Young J.F. Kennedy? I'm confused now.

History

UzumakiSei

We'll finally get to learn about what project x, or at least the whole cloning project is about! Yatta! I wonder if they could do clones, well not exactly clones, of literary figures. A Holmes would be interesting...probably would be along the same lines as Freud though...

Hitler has snapped, and is trying to bring Shiro down with him. It's funny how he's related 'Aryan race' to 'clones'. I can't wait to see where this goes...

Deep stuff

QueenColonDarkwing

Wow is this getting deep. I want to know more about his dad's buddy (aka fellow shiro clone). He is one of my favs. But I guess we won't get to see him this chapter which is sad since last chapter he was beating up the other clone.
I feel sad for Hitler. He was the clone I truly wanted to defy his fate. Also I am happy Shiro is sort of Pandoras daddy. It is so cute.
It is sad that most of the people say "only clones" and the clones say "we are better than them because we are clones."

Why is this so awesome?

falala`

Seriously. I love this.

Everything about it is fantastic~ <3

This isn't much of a review - I just had to get that off my chest. XD

Hmm...~

perfectyandere

At first I didn't like Hitler, but... Now that he's travelled further down the path of his original, I've become attached...~~~ Haa, so I'm a horrible person, so what.

Update soon! oooo:

An army?

Moony

I wonder if Hitler is going to gather up a group of extremely loyal Almighty Dolly followers for an army. Napoleon would be jealous as he doesn't have an army yet. I also wonder what will happen to the clone assasin group, there would be another Hitler clone there too...

Shiro's "Original", 23

Bundle

I have a theory that "Project X", all the Kais, and lastly Shiro, are all clones of Kuroe (or a relative of Kuroe) that were developed by Dr. Kamiya. Thus Dr. Kamiya asking Kuroe about his feelings every time they encounter a dead Kai, and Kuroe's response which seems to indicate that Dr. Kamiya feels all the burden and responsibility for all the "Kais", especially Shiro.
Rockswell is, by far, the creepiest character in the entire manga!

Appreciate the research

LogosOfJ

It is interesting how Hitler's snapping reflects a popular interpretation of history: instead of the by-now overdone EVIL OVERLORD OF 21st CENTURTY, it is instead an excess of faith in a sadly misguided idea (Aryan supremacy - the Almighty Dolly). Plus, the Almighty Dolly cult is a nice reference to the Thule Society.

OOOOOOHHHH *W*

Not Nightingale

& yes Hitler, from the moment I see you I know that you will be the Yandere of the story, I AM CORRECT *smiles*

& yes, I want more chapters! I finished everything within 2 days & the cliffhanger is blissfully painful 8D

Great Story!

J

I am so completely in love with this series. <3 I think the plot's amazing, the characters fascinating, the art lovely and the list goes on!
*(Mild) SPOILER*
I was literally tearing about Napoleon and Joan. :'( It was so sad! And I was actually beginning to sort of like Rasputin.. :( What a suckish way to die, actually..

Can't get enough!!!

new reader

just found this manga and I can't get enough of it!!!! I need to read more now!!!!!!!! DX I really liked Hitler at the start, but now he's gone insane. And poor Marie, Napoleon, Shiro... damn I like ALL the characters @-@ (never happened to me before, there's always some mediocre character that just doesn't do it for me, I admit Florence comes close, but her part is sure to hold more significance sooner or later)

kyaaa~

Linnea

The moment that mozart and nightingale shared together made me squee~ it makes me wish they were a couple. That would be cute X3

OH YES

linnea

hitler snapped, oh yes hitler snapped and that made me happy because he snapped on my least favorite character. it was great because hitler's my favorite character and rasputin my least.

MozartxNightingale all the way

-either that or mozartxshiroxfreud >.>; -

Chpt. 23

KYD

When i first read this manga, i said "Whoa that's clone Hitler? He's not the same without the mustache I have to admit." I WANT AN ALMIGHTY DOLLY!!!.

Hoping for more!

Tamiyi

This manga keeps getting more and more interesting! I am completely in love with it!

It always gets better

tinkeroftime

Wow, I did not see that coming at all! Hitler you have truly snapped! I was deeply moved by Florence and it's chilling how dark this series is getting. I just hope Shiro and the gang can survive whatever is to come! Also I wonder why the guy who was beating up Kai was so frustrated? Overall, please upload always. So so brillllliant!!!!

Chapter23

hayley^^

Well, It's official...clone adolf has now completely lost his fragile little mind.
seriously...I was tearing up when I saw Napoleon thinking about Joan.
The poor boy...

oh yeah and...HOLY SHIT!!! ADOLF JUST SHOVED ADORABLE SHEEP PLUSHIES DOWN SOMEONES THROAT!!!!D:

Delicious Plot

O____O

The story just keeps on getting more and more interesting.... I'm really worried about clone Hitler returning to his roots. And what will the remaining clone terrorists plus Himiko do?!?! Ugh, I wish the chapters were uploaded more frequently. The wait is killing me!!!!!

Can't wait!

mich

Ah! Rasputin! O_O What did Hitler do to you?!?!? This needs to update more! D: I can't wait a month for each one!

!

LillyPrilly

Ahhh! Hitler what have you done!? XD lol this is getting tense! Thank you so much for uploading, Viz! I can't wait to buy the 3rd volume when it comes out :)

wow

zomgosh

DARWIN. YESSSSSS. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR DARWIN FOR SOOO LONG.

It's funny, cuz the original Darwin is one of the inspirations for the original Freud, and here the clones are, arguing.

hitler

Toshin

hitler has offically crack and who excatly is kai clone after

Oooooh, Hitler~

FreudFangirl

Wooooow. I knew Hitler had snapped, but WOW did he snap hard. Poor Rasputin... I wonder if he even knew of Himiko "vanishing" and Einstein dying before Hitler told him... Hitler's face at the end when he sees Shiro is just plan CREEPY! And the heart, too!

The Almighty Dolly

MrZhen

Wut. Hitler mocks the unbelievers. And forces them to eat cotton mutton. I shouldn't find this win, but I totally do.

FFFF-

falala`

OH DUDE.
DUDE.
I'm stoked for this. This story is just... brilliant. I love it so much!
All these complications~ Starting off with Marie Curie, going off to Kai/Project X/Shiro/Kamiya (wut.), then there's ALL THESE CLONES OF CLONES~
OHMAHGAWD IT'S AMAZING.
Keep updating!! I can't wait for next month's chapter~!

Oh My Jesus

muahaha

This is an amazing and intense manga. It really needs an anime. The plot is gripping, and though it can occasionally be confusing, that does not stop me from reading because I know it will all make sense soon! The characters are really great, and I am especially interested in seeing how Hitler's character develops. Interesting that he was the only one who didn't have an older clone?
I don't know, it's just soooo good! Last few chapters nearly had me in tears...keep uploading! FOREVER XD!

Trippin Over Something

Sunstruck

I was pleasantly surprised on how philosophical this manga really is. If you're a history buff, you can already see how a lot of the clones may end up becoming EXACTLY like their originals even though a lot of them seem like distant counterparts at the moment, like Elizabeth and Hitler who was actually a good-natured boy once upon a LOOONG time ago. Hitler's last lines from chapter 21 are especially haunting. If you love history and themes such as fate vs. free will, this is for you.

review

tinkeroftime

this is a fabulous series! Keep posting! Always wondering what is going to happen next.

AMAZING!!

eslalbelrayn

i <3 this series! i can't wait to see more of it!

Woot!

Fish

Woot, woot! Darwin in da house! XD

On another note, holy crap Hitler's smirk! O_O

:O

HitlerFanGirl

I randomly found this page and I must say that I loved it,I became an instant fan of Hitler :3.I just hope he follows the right steps,not like the real one :(.And oh,poor Joan,I will miss her :'(

Darwin??

Biology Nerd

Is this really true? There's a clone Darwin? (Who is totally hot, btw.) And he used the freaking Natural Selection theory?

This manga keeps getting better and better.

great comic

paris

this is great!keep uploading!

Project X

Kumiko Suekane Fanboy

Are you serious? I can't believe this! She kills off my favourite character, both the current clone and the terrorist clone, and then all she/they get is a little plaque. I really wanted the next chapter to come out, and I expected they would do something for Joan, but not such a small something.

I want the next chapter to come out so that I can learn more about Kai and Project X.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Kogasumaru

Relax, Joan will be back.

Well, a Joan, anyway.

Intriguing manga setting

Cassandra Hernandez

Afterschool Charisma starts with clones and a mystery that leaves its students frightened. What are clones to do. In chapter 1 Vol 1 of Afterschool Charisma you get into the background of the story. I will continue to read! It has lots of potential. The art is unique too.

Awesomeness

Naoko

This is too awesome! Poor Joan though :( But Hitler is so scary and cute >w< (Hitler fangirl)

wow ._.

Ai

oh my...I serisously cant wait for the next one... O_O it's adictive...

why?

Ellery

the last series and chapters were horrifying but i couldn't seem to leave it alone. i actually cried tears, but i didn't know why. i can't wait to see the next chapters; i hope they're better

wow

octavaluna

tha last chapter was fantastic. I feel pity for jean, but mozart's "transformation" amazed me, and hitler's wolrd may leave anyone frozen... I like it!!! >.<

Changes

FireGirl

Wow... I AM shocked by how things changed. Freud putting his arm around Shiro? Mozart playing to put Elder Mozart into his conscience? and Himiko joining the rebels... (well, I could figure that out)

Anyway, is it just me, or is Freud getting cuter and cuter by the minute? (squeals)

Dx

Akira

Nooooooo! T.T
Why Joan??
And whatever happened to Napoleon???

Actually...

Col. Schafer

In response to any comments about bullets not starting fires, actually they could. Bullets are extremely hot coming out of the barrel, and so if it touched any of the gas it *could* set it off.

Now, I'm not going to tell you its likely or believable, but it is possible, and to be fair this is a manga about clones so meh.

Napoleon

Whatshername

OMG! What'll happen to Napoleon??

But...

namehereplz

A bullet to a gas can wouldn't start a fire, much less a bullet to someone's head. Ugh... that made me lose a little interest in this manga.

Raving

Miss Alexie

This series is just so good...
The art is spectacular, the plot is thrilling, everything is a masterpiece in itself. I really really wish this manga could be adapted to an anime that could join the ranks of Naruto, Samurai X and Dragon Ball.

Dolly and Hitler

KYD

I want one of those little Dolly the Sheeps. They are just too cute. I was shocked to find that Hitler was the innocent kid.

omg

ansketl

The latest chapter... wow. That's... wow. One thing I find very interesting is that we haven't seen an adult Clone Hitler. Very interesting, that.

So what happen...?

RarRarRasputin!

So what happen to Rasputin? I mean he was on the stage and then the place blew up...
I mean, oh no main characters are getting hurt!
....
But I mean Rasputin is such a beast!!!

Ch. 20

nileve

OMG IM SO LOST
There are too many Shiro clones, clones talking in riddles, clones with guns, uuuuggggghhhhh....
Ok so suicidal clones saying "I hope this brings you nightmares"...
And Joan #1 & Joan #2 & Shiro #idk go up in flames after someone shoots the Shiro colone...SO LOST!!!

O_O

Me

I need another chapter now!!!!

What the crap??

Michaellius

JOOOOAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!

Mozart

Me

Mozart is such a d-bag, but I totally can't help but love him!
I can't wait for the next chapters!

Lovin' this

A fan

I really like Hetalia, but this is just so much more! There's a story line! : D I hope that this manga starts getting some loving!

chapter 20

Skye Stryker

Oh...my...God.

Theory

Paulee

Actually, I thought Shiro and Kai were clones of Dr. Kamiya and he wants Shiro alive to continue the study of clones.. it don't really apply how they look; but that's just me.

How many!?

Angel5673

Shocking...

shocking indeed. I expected there to be one Shiro in the striker clones, but, more than one...makes me wonder what were Kamiya's intentions with this...

Ch. 16

Shiroku

It just keeps getting better.
Can't wait for the next update!

AfterSchool Charisma

Prez. Kennedy

I wander why RFK isn't there, his bro was?

look alikes

white.

I know Kai and Shiro look alike... but I also think Kuroe and Shiro kind of look simliar too. He just has his hair all slicked back. But that's just me.

Looking into their eyes

jessie

The clones must have a tough time dealing with their originals' leftovers. (Freud's Three Essays about Sexuality and Napoleon's "army". Thinking about that makes me go woozy.)

However, I bid them all good luck! :D
(Especially to Freud-sama and Napoleon-sama. Kawaiiiiiii!)

Suspenseful!

Skye Stryker

If this were to become an anime, it would rival Death Note! This is just so intense! I love it!

Easy

Common Reader

Its easy to see from the implications of the latest chapter that Hitler has something either up his sleeve, or is going to lose it soon. Its a real foreshadowing when the author starts zooming up on the faces.

On a lighter note, why was Mozart locked up WITH Shiro? Shouldn't it just be Shiro?

chapter sixteen.

chillarmy

daaaang. this just made me want another update. i wonder why he locked shiro, mozart and pandora in that room. maybe he knows they might be targeted the most and hid them..? either way, it's getting good. i hope we get to see the introductions of the clones!

.. i wonder if they're still going to do joan's death simulation..?
( i kind of want to see it happen ) ..

suspensesuspense.

NYA!!! Ch. 16...

nileve

That didint even make sence!!!! These stupid chapters are too short & way too suspenceful! Now i dont even get whats gonna hapen!
On a lighter note, Hitler looked cute in his uniform, as did everyone else.
Oh. And I think all the ppl in the auditorium r gonna get killed (or somethin).

PS: Ivan! I miss u! Bet u loved how Hitler looked here, huh? I know I did LOL

xTIM

The epicness!

I love how this manga can be predictable and also unpredictable at the same time. The theories I had were coming true, however, there were several twists I didn't expect. Chapter 16 definitely makes up for the lack of actual action in the last chapter, and it gave more of an inside look of Ikkyu and a few other characters. This chapter left me on the edge of my seat and I'm definitely looking forward to the next update as usual.

awesome chapter

Ramuthra

@Nileve Eh you think so? Personally I don't believe that Shiro and Kai are cloned from the guy with the cloak. To be honest I think he's also a clone like his companions, who are the clone generation before shiros friends (I was almost sure I rekognised a older Napoleon and Elisabeth, when they were first introduced) .. oh and for some reason I don't believe shiro to be a clone.. because Rokswell tries so hard to make him believe that
because he wants to screw with his (and his dads) mind..

Excellent

fan

I just picked it up today and now I can't wait for more volumes! Love suspense.

can't wait.

chillarmy

i just purchased the first volume today.

this has become one of my favorite series lately. i can trudge through a few boob shots n' such because i think it's a wonderful story. the pace is not too slow or fast.. and while i do agree that i think a little bit of info on some of the characters ( such as himiko, empress, etc.. ) would be nice, i just looked it up on my own. i do hope you put up chapter 16 soon. i just can't wait any longer ~ !

On the edge of my seat

You-Know-Who

I first picked this up in the store because I recognized the art. The artist had done work for Blood +: Adagio and I recognized it immediately. For the next few months I would revisit the same volume every time I came to the store and only recently scraped together the money to get it, but it was so worth it.
It's such a well put together story, unlike most stories, I don't already know what's going to happen. The day I reach the end of Afterschool Charisma will be a sad one, I believe.

Suspenseful

Shiroku

I have to say, this is probably the first manga that's had me on the edge of my seat. Excellent artwork, excellent storyline. I love the irony in the part where Clone Kennedy was assassinated. Fate? Who knows. The character interaction is absolutely amazing. Interesting choice in people; from Hitler to Mozart, Joan of Arc to Marie Curie. The appearance of Kai was an excellent plot twist. Could Shiro possibly be a clone? Will the burning of Joan of Arc be real? We'll just have to wait and see.

Ch. 15......

Nileve

Da heck?! This chapter was jacked up! Realy, is it just me or is there a boat-load of cluless people atending that school?!
Oviously Kai (may he rest in peace) & Shiro r clones of the same dude, presumably the man in the cloak.
And Roswell? Da heck is up with him?! Hes officialy traumatized Pandora for life. I wanna give her a hug.
Shiro, Meris been dead since the begining of the manga. Ur cluless.

PS: Ivan i miss u! Promiss soon we can cosplay togetha! (if & when i get more money =~=")

WTF?

Hitler

OMG like really wth is going here. SO....MUCH...DRAMA! i cant wait for the next chapter oh and chapters 2-6 u have to buy the manga. Also another thing Shiro a clone Kai a brother? WTF?
I LOVE EINSTEIN!

Happy

WickedFairyEssence

The cover for this series is so fancy. I likes it. 8D

I love this series so much. Always an OH SH**! moment in every chapter. :3

Very nice,

That one guy

I have been following this for a while now and I can say that I truly love this.

Very nice,

That one guy

I have been following this since I found it about half a year ago and the only thing I can think of that would make it even better is if the next chapters came out faster, lol, but no need to rush or anything, I want these to stay good... X)

it's different

bluestardragon

I've never read,or imagined anything like this. I't different,and kind of cool

"Missing" chapters

leylaaker

In response to the people who asked about the earlier chapters no longer being available, this blog post should hopefully answer your question:
http://blog.sigikki.com/ikki/2010/09/chapter-availability.html

History is Hypnotic

England

More and more every day, something is pulling me into historical fiction and interpretation. First Hetalia...now this. Thing is, Hetalia has become another Naruto with the fandom the way it is. I just can`t take it any more.
This series is so fresh in comparison, and the art is fantastic. I never liked Blood+, but this is quite a success in my eyes, Miss Suekane. Thank you for making this available, Viz! I fully intend to follow this series. c:

want....NEED more...

Lilly

Oh my gosh, this is sooo messed up but sooo interesting! 8D haha I can't wait to see what happens next! I'm really afraid for Joan.... and I think Hitler might go nuts.... actually I'm afraid for everyone! Poor Pandora and Shiro...
Can't wait for the next chapter. Thank you Viz for putting it up online to read! I'm definitely buying the next volumes when they come out!
And now I must suffer through the wait for the next chapter to be translated Xp

Oh my ~

xTim

And the plot thickens! The suspense is nearly killing me; I was at the edge of my seat hoping that they wouldn't leave us with a cliffhanger. However, they did it anyway. Bah! But they're doing a wonderful job with updating so far, which I do appreciate. <3 Looking forward to the next update!

aaaaaaa

aaaaaaaa

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

to the Director

Rin Seiju

What happened to the Marie Curie that our lover knows? Why make another clone?

Lol awesome

Jo

Great series really, but updates where? I'm tempted to buy them from amazon.jp and start reading those lol. Is this manga shounen-ai? It's all good if it is, but the style seems kinda...yea.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 7?

Me

Where are the chapters 2 to 6? :/

Marie Curie

Pres. Kennedy

If he killed Marie, I'm goona shoot'em like his soldier did to Kennedy, BYE-BYE, ROCKSWEEELL!!!

Um.

magpie

Chapters 2 - 6, where are they?

Not cool!

Col. Schafer

Dude WTF? That guy is an asshole, strangeling a little girl like that...

Made the chapter interesting though, thats for sure.

Afterschool Charisma

bulletsndcarnage

This manga is mindblowing. I can't help but feel that the plot is getting thicker and more emotional. I can truly feel the character's pain in the art. It's beautiful.

Unbelievable....

Hikari Kurata

I can't believe it.... DON'T GO CHOKING LITTLE GIRLS!!!

And what the hell? Just killing clones for their own convenience? Honestly, no one can be an exact replica of another person....

Still.... this is just getting too much....

xTIM

Waiting. Again. ;;;

I feel like this update was short. I wished they uploaded the fifteenth chapter, too. But the fourteenth chapter does bring up a lot of questions! I just hope they're answered soon. I'm counting down the day the second volume comes out, and I'm looking forward to the next update.

Wonderful Series

Ciel

So many twists and turns that just keep you reading. Who cares if it's confusing? It's what makes us keep reading. It's a pity that it's a lesser known manga...

>:|

HunterWannabe

WTF Mr. Director, WTF?! That's messed up. ):<

Funny how one chapter can make me go "Ah my gawd, little shiro is adorable!" to wanting to punch one of the characters. ...I love this manga. :D

CH 14

Ty-tan

GAH!!! Why? That should not have happened!!!!! I feel so bad for Marie Curie, all of them :(

AAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Nileve

I WANNA KILL THE DIRECTOR!!!!
So what if that's not the same Marie Curie!? Don't go around choking children! Even if the other Merie is alive, or not, don't go and choke Pandora becaouse Shiro says that since the have different memories they arent the same! True, they have become diffrent people, but gosh! SHE IS A LITTLE KID!!!!!!
I started CRYING when i reached the last page!!!
This is getting too confusing!!!! (& the chapters are too short...)

<< ... Er >>

Ivan

Mr. Rockswell what is wrong with you?!?
What happened to the fanservice that burned my eyes?
I miss the burn. I miss it.
The second volume comes out around my birthday. Want.

P.S. School sucks without you. It sucks butt.
No... It's just I'm a loner. And I need to talk to more people. I sit in corners all by myself when I get the chance. I can't wait until I can start telling bad jokes that nobody but we get.
BTW, My dog just had puppies.

Thank you!!

RD

Thank you so much for putting this up, I appreciate your hard work very much :-)!

Thanks!

Izzygirl13

Thank you so much for uploading! I brought the first book, but I couldn't find the second one anywhere! =^ _^=

Ch. 13

Ethan

A cliff hanger! I can't wait until chapter 14 comes out. I also can't wait until Janurary when volume 2 comes out. I suppose it'll have ch. 7 - 12, yeah? The best manga I've read in a LONG time!

Clone-killers

Marwa Roshan

What I want to know is who are the people aiming to kill the clones? When are they going to make their move? And (do not read the following if you aren't caught up and don't want spoilers) why are they behind the Almighty Dollies?

WTF????

cielo

Jus finished reading the 3rd volume, and no I'm not spoiling anything.

So far...in the third volume, you'll find plot twists often, and it'll make you wanting MORE!!!!!!

Best Manga I've read since Evangelion

POOO!

randomness

You spoilers!

*grin*

Col. Schafer

The plot thickens! so far I'd read it by volumes but ch13 made me realise, the chapters really are suspencefull! Who the hell are Shiro and Kai!?

Getting exciting. <3

xTIM

I had kind of bought the book on impulse since the pictures were pretty and the idea of young historical figures in high school had me curious. And y'know what? I don't regret my purchase at all.
I'm very happy that there are chapters of the second volume on here since I couldn't stay in suspense at the end of the first volume! However, as soon as the second volume comes out, I'm going to make sure I get my hands on it. |D

Ch. 13! OMG!

Nileve

OMG! my speculations were knda off, but gosh! NowI'm trying to figure out whos clone Kai is. Although hes crazy, mozart is right that Shiro and Kai are probably clones of the same person, and somehow realted to the other mystery man that Kai mentioned.
But i'm not sure how to conect the dots (like Freud).
And it was another freakin cliff-hanger! I'm getting anoyed!
P.S. (Ivan, I had a spaz atack when i read your coment LOL)

Ridiculously happy.

xTIM

Ever since I bought the first volume, I have been hooked on the manga. I'm pretty much stalking this page for the next update. The characters, plot, setting, scenario, and just about everything about it interested me. The only problem I have with it is that it can get a little predictable if you actually think about it.
I can't wait for the second volume to come out so I can own it. Until then, I'm going to wait for chapter fourteen and the other updates. It's getting exciting!

Incredible.

xTIM

When chapter thirteen came out, I was literally jumping with joy and shouting while the people around me stared and thought I was insane. But you know? That was okay. Because this series was worth the stares.

I can't wait for chapter fourteen to come out ( the suspense is killing me! ), and I also can't wait until the second volume is out in stores so I can get my hands on it.

Oh what now?

Jess

I'm so glad I bought this at the store the other day! I like it a lot. The only thing that throws me off though is the "almighty dolly." Still, I really want to have a copy of 2 and read the rest of the series!!!

omg!

iKym2

oh my gosh! i totally called it! not marie-curie, but shiro! ugh! i want to know who he is! but i still want to know what exactly they did to marie curie when she left... i love this series! and yes, this is the only time i can ever say 'i love hitler.'

omg!

i love this series!!

bladeangel

when i first saw the book at the bookstore i just stood there...gawkin of how amazing the cover was.the book was awesome as well.i know that some people would not like it but to me it took my breath away.so in the meantime i hope that more fans will notice this series and like it just the way it is like i have :)

an intriguing premise

reviewer

People need to stop posting spoilers in their reviews; I'm only into the first volume and really didn't need to know about the latest plot developments just because I scrolled down a little too far. Please try to keep it to forums and not a place where potential customers would read.

Anyway, I'm interested in the series. The writing in general is good and the art style is lovely if kind of generic.

Oh crap!

Kitsune

OMGWTFWAH!

Shiro isn't a natural?! Shiro isn't? T_T Awwwwwww. And that was quite the twist, Pandora is -- another Marie Curie. D: No wonder Shiro-kun seems to be the favorite babysitter candidate. More!

Uh...

Ivan

For as long as I've been reading this I just saw I've never done a review for it. But it's great! I mean it's so cliche but it's new. And I know many of you have already seen a phrase like this many times. But it's true.
And it's the only series that makes you say 'I like Hitler.' Although I don't recommend you say this to anyone who doesn't follow the series.
P.S. Nileve I know were you live. AND I still have that creepy blinky necklace. You better call me, I'm bored.

Ch. 12!!!!!!!

Nileve

OMG! I was right (About Merie)!

But Shiro! I got so shocked!
I wanted to punch the director in the face! Saying "you realy do look alike" with a smile as if Shiro and his original (it pains me to say that) are father and son! Im so angry!

At least Mosart cant say he hates Shiro anymore & cant claim that Shiro dosnt understand what its like to be a clone. Mosart was raised knowing, but Shiro will suffer from this in many ways (including hateing his 'father' with all his heart).

Dude!!!

WolfieAM

This manga would make, like, the PERFECT movie!!! Man! I ♥ This manga!!! Especially Hitler and Einstein, they're adorable! But Mozart is just plain AWESOME!!! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Dude!!!

WolfieAM

This manga would make,like, THE PERFECT MOVIE!!! I mean, it's something new! This is probably the best manga I've ever read!!! I LOVE Hitler and Einstein, their adorrable! And Mozart and Freud's awesome too! Man, I ♥ this manga!!! ^.^

Awww shit!

Col. Schafer

Gues whos not actualy normal!? Talk about a cliffhanger on CH12!

oh dear!

Lina

Ah! When I got to the end of chapter 12, it's like "OH SNAP!!" with Pandora and Shiro. I wonder how that's gonna turn out.... aw and it'll be a while before it updates! But anyways, totally awesome, can't wait for vol.2 to come out so I can buy it :) I'm real interested to see what's going on

Chapter 12

InformationGeek

The artwork has slowly been improving over time, but that's not focus here. As for the story this time around, everything was moving nice and slowly through the chapter. Nothing really advancing too far, but enough to keep you interested. However, the last few pages just took me for a loop where I had to reread everything again just to make sure I got all of it. I really think that this is great plot twist and is now making EXTREMELY excited for the next chapter.

amazing!

Creasias

This manga made me interested in reading the historical backgrounds of the people surrounding the manga.

It also has a different plot and perspective than other mangas out there. I have to question if Shiro is really the doctor's kid though. = There might be something more to the main character that meets the eye.

Awesomeness

WolfieAM

Looooove this series! It's really really awesome! Pleaze post more, this is probably the coolest anime comic I have ever read! I just love Mozart and Hitler, really cool characters! XD

wow

red

i have volume 1 and volume 2 of the book but i'm still unfortunate to have the next volumes. can someone tell me where can i find one? i am in the philippines by the way

...........Oh my god

Matthew Ellis

So intence so far. I read chapter one. It's so.... I don't know how to explain
it.

Interesting!

LillyPhrilly

So this is really interesting! The whole thing about them being clones of brilliant historical figures and the conspiracy... the way it's done is very interesting. The characters are really fun too (haha at first I was like, Napolean's too tall!) It's fun when the stuff you remember from History class gives you a laugh in something you read. I'm going to keep reading, and since I know it's so good from reading it online, I'll definitely buy when I see it on the shelves!

SO. COOL.

Bingo

I love this series so much! :O It's really hard waiting for each chapter to come up, heh. xD But you're doing an amazing job and I love the flash reader, so I can only be thankful to you. ^-^

Chapter 11!

Nileve

When the director gets asked "Do clones have to follow the path of their originals?", he looks at Pandora. He asks her "What do you think?", she says "huh?", & he replys "No point in asking you, is there?".

He is saying that shes Merie Curii!
Look at her hair! Exactly like Merie & it was said Merie was to be replaced in erlier chapters!

Freud was right: All the clones might die soon.
Sorry Einstien & Rasputin (& maby even Himiko). U will die soon.

all that is holy

fuji

PLEASE POST MORE SOON VIZ

Good Read

nanashi

Love the concept of clone + conspiracy (not new but it works well in this case). The characters are amusing and it simply makes you want to read more. Anticipating how the characters will play their role (Hitler?!). Absolutely purchasing this when it comes out!

This is fun...

Gato

Haha, chapter 9 was just plain torture! ;p This is such a fun manga...totally getting this at some point. Clone High...yeah yeah...maybe similar but this is a great twist to it.

And the fact that it's online, nice move VIZ. I actually would like to get in touch on a proposal. ;p

woah...

_bulilit_

This manga is really good. I was just curious about it first cause the art is kind of nice and everything, when I was strolling in the bookstore, but then, I'm soooo glad I bought it!!! The plot is good and so is the characters... I only have the first volume so i was really glad that i found this site... uuurrgghh, i wish i could get my hands on the 2nd volume!!!!

this is interesting

Abigail

Of all the people to point out Shiro's daddy complex, I love that it was Freud. I wonder what he has to say about him talking to the picture of his dead mom?

Now I want to go watch clone High, if only to compare the two JFKs.

Fantastic.

astro98

This is probably one of my favourite series running on the site. The art, concept, and characters are great.

Heh heh...

Dinoguy1000

In chapter 8, page 16, anel 3, they're getting ready to eat all of Shiro's favorite "deserts"... Sounds rather dry, really. =D

Hmmm

Ri-kun

In one way or the other it reminds me a bit of Hetalia because of the use of history and a new way of personification with it, but on its own, its very unique. It also has a bit of Aeon-Flux with it...

I believe this manga has potential though. Interesting, intriguing and a fresh new way of looking into history's "heroes and maniacs"

Japanese Clone High?

thehell

So..... this is basically the manga version of Clone High with more angst and less comedy? ...... :/ Think I'll stick with Clone High...

I try to enjoy it but I can't help but see CLONE HIGH plastered all over this thing... Seriously, all you need is a mad scientist and evil government people who planned all this and I swear, there might be a copyright war over this...

kewls

-zuna

Its a rly gd manga.Its out in Singapore and I bought it XD I thought that it was a lil confusing at first but then slowly I understood it.Its an awesome manga that I reccommend to all shounen/pschological/shoujo fans :D

Awesome

irinthony

I fell in love the instant I read the first chapter. It's quite different from other mangas. I just love the setting, the characters, and their feelings too. =] Great read!

Chowdah!

NaJ

Reading this series just makes me want to watch Clone High. Anyone else?

Awesome

dude

I saw this in a bookshop and my interest was piqued so I went home and search for it on Google. Totally paid off. This is awesome stuff. Keep going!

Afterschool Charisma

Japan Smoof

I like it so far. Seems interestingly strange...

Please Print

Tristan

I hope this really does see print, the first chapter started off slow but from chapter 3 and onwards there is suspense, lots of character development, and a bit of thrilling suspense later on, this is definitely an interesting one to read!

One of My Favorites

shannon

I adore this comic. A touch of shoujo, with a touch of Code Geass or Full Metal Alchemist... anyway, I think it would be popular...

Interesting...

buuu

I wasn't convinced by this comic at first... But now I really hope it sees print! It's so delightfully weird. :D

Up to chapter 6...

Erica M.

Okay, I'm getting thoroughly sucked in to AFC now. The mysteries as well as the clashes between Shiro and his clone classmates are really entertaining and thought-provoking.

Will Viz be releasing these SigiIkki titles in print at some point? The question seems a bit silly, but nonetheless I feel I ought to ask.

I'm immensely enjoying the unique qualities of both this series and Dorohedoro, and will almost definitely be buying them both ASAP! <3

more

e

i want chapter 6

Really good!

K-K

This is such a good manga! I like the idea that they are clones of historical figures, good and bad. The art style is quite simple, but I like it! If this comes out in book form I'd buy it right away!

Awesome

Lei

This is a very interesting manga. I like how the clones all have different personalities and a lot are afraid to die the way of their originals. If this comes out in stores then I'll buy it in a heartbeat!

ASC

Erica M.

So far I'm intrigued by both the concept and the initial execution of this series. The art is appealing, the layouts easy to follow, and the pace keeps your interest without racing along too hastily or trudging up a proverbial hill at a snail's speed.

It raises such a fascinating subject for what I suspect will be ASC's main theme: is one's identity preordained or can strength of will alone dictate everything?

Hmm..

aniemmiz

I think this series is so so. Reminds me slightly of Sky Crawlers, and with the obvious mystery behind what would happen to the clones.. oh well.

Afterschool Charisma

Margaret

This develops into something even more interesting than the first chapter suggests. The differing attitudes the various clones have toward following in the originals' footsteps are interesting. So is the contrast between Mozart's "I'm a clone prodigy who can't be bothered w. ordinary people" airs & the others' envy of Shiro for having parents. But I found the characters' untrue-to-the-originals looks distracting, altho my problem was w. Elizabeth's non-red hair more than Napoleon's height.

Love it

A fan

I heard about Ikki at ComicCon San Diego and this was the title I wanted to read the most. I heard that Hitler was a lot of peoples favorite character and cannot wait to learn more about how he developed as a person in this world. So far this is my favorite Ikki title, can't wait for more and I tell everyone I know about it. Great story, great characters, and great art cannot ask for more.

Ch. 4

WickedFairy

Wow. I so did not expect that last page of chapter four. Wow. Please hurry and post chapter 5. D:

This is a great series so far. I can't wait til it gets printed here so I can buy it. :D Unless it already is printed here?

Chapter 4

Ash

The last page in chapter 4...whoa.

Afterschool charisma...<3

Elfmagic777

This is the best series going on in ikki right now. I can't wait for it to come out in stores. I probably wouldn't by it if I hadn't read it here first. It is a really interesting premise ^^.

Astonishingly good

Kate Fitzsimons

I was dubious about this. The title sounds like a romance manga and the premise is like Clone High. I was wrong. The execution is the important part, and this has that. This is the best title in Sigikki, and I’d buy it in hardcopy. I like that instead of simply cloning the famously *good*, they cloned the extraordinary brilliant, even the morally ambiguous. The plot is organic to the premise - you can't create a group of geniuses and then keep them in the dark.

Fascinating

Tristan

Afterschool charisma is an interesting, science fiction type, story that opened up greatly. It seemed possible to assume the fate of the character known as marie curie but this was a grea subplot to the first chapter. I cant wait to see where this series goes next in terms of exploring how these clones of prominent figures can do in the modern world.

Also I want to see what role the main chracter has in everything as well.

An excellent start, definitely one to read

things are heating up!

alyssa

Chapter 3 was pretty interesting, looks like the clones will be facing threats from without and within. I have to say that I just love clone Freud! He's such an ass but the only one who seems to have any clue as to whats going on.

Great Premise

Judi

This is a great premise and I can't wait for more. I've read it twice already, but then I've read everything twice. This is great stuff.

Awsome

Rachel

As a major History nerd, this series was right up my alley. I love seeing Historical figures in manga and the plot itself is very intriging. The only thing I found odd was that as a site dedicated to unique manga Afterschool seemed a little TOO mainstream. The artstyle looks like your average manga while all the other series on the site feature very unique art. But in the end what series its next to wouldn't change the fact that I would purchase this book in a heartbeat if it is ever published

When will more come out?

Raphael

It's a very interesting story so far! I like how every chapter posted has ended with a cliff hanger that makes me really want to read the next... so why isn't there more? When will this come out in book form, or at least, when will more chapters be published~?

Really loved it

Iwazaru

The idea of clones of important historical figures all attending the same school sounded like a really cool idea. This manga seems great so far!
I'll definitely read it more and buy it if it comes out in volume form.

Interesting Concept

REM beat down

After reading the chapters posted, I'm already interested in this, and I'll probably continue to read it. I like seeing the mangaka's idea of what these historical figures would be like as teenagers, I enjoy their interactions.

Has Potential

Corrupt_Id

I was skeptical about this at first but after reading it I found it to be very intriguing. The whole concept is really interesting and has a lot of potential; I can't wait to see where it goes from here. I love Freud just as as I do his real life counterpart. His sarcasm is hilarious and the why he mocked Shiro's obsession with his father was great.
The art is very good even though I'm not a fan of the bishi style.
I'm interested in seeing where it goes from here.

OK, could be interesting

Shelly

I'm interested enough to keep reading this. Things throw me out of the story though, like tall, blond handsome *Napolean* - something about their cloning process must be off LOL. But the setup already has enough suspense to keep me going - who's doing this and why? A character guide would be helpful with this one btw, because I don't know a couple of the historical people referenced by just their first names.

chapter 1

caelin

I'll admit, I was very entertained by teen bishie Freud and had a few laughs at the absurdity of it. The set up has a lot of potential to play off their 'originals' stereotypes & I'm assuming the deal with Marie isn't as sunshine and rainbows as Shiro makes it out. I'm interested in getting to know the characters a bit better, and see what conflict arises. I'll be reading the next chapters.

alright start

dach

I was really looking forward to this mostly because it sounded like clone high but serious and it just sounded interesting. Thankfully it was good but there were some parts that were iffy. When a clone is introduced their full name is said, it sounded odd but it's minor and i can over look it. I'm really looking forward to see more of the clones interactions with each other. Especially Freud, "Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy!" ha that part cracked me up.
