Originally bought the 3-1 Omnibus and forgot about it...until recently. After dedicating a few evenings to this Omnibus, my thoughts, perception and general interest in time machine, Sci-fi stories has changed for the better. The Manga has well drawn pages with a very appealing art style for the characters and the chosen settings. The interactions feel genuine and not annoying between certain characters which is a definite plus. The MC being childish as an adult, is quite an interesting concept which appeals to more older readers, 17+, that being yourself is the most valuable trait regardless of others perception.

The Steins Gate manga has an abridged story from the original story (visual novel) therefore, some details and plot developments are lost but still remains a good story with emotional moments.

The art is good, the character design is different but nice and keeps its essence. The most important moments are very well captured and manage to convey the emotion of the scene.

In short I think it is a good alternative to see the story again if we have already played the visual novel or watched the anime (a great adaptation).totally recommended and I give it a 10/10 because I love Steins Gate.

The feeling of the “true” Steins;Gate experience is felt very rarely in the manga. Experiencing the anime helps build some appeal to the manga, but that just shows the manga is not sufficient. The manga’s writing feels like a watered down version of the ...
