Kimi Shi ni Tamafu Koto Nakare or differently named Thou Shall Not Die is a psychological supernatural sci-fi series based in the future. In the prologue chapter we are first introduced to scientists discovering psychic powers and making use of them on humans. Quickly they were being used as soldiers in the military; only catch is the soldiers are highschoolers. Unfortunately science found out that a person loses their powers once they turn 21. So, in act of only ages 15-21 able to hold these powers and fight the government made a decision. The “Special Abilities Private High School” is established in order to utilize students’ powers for the military. Teenagers are trained to fight in battle for their country. Oh right one big fact to point out- they are an unarmed force.
The war started when all the worlds oil was used up. Conflict after conflict soon became a world wide scale war for resources. Japan was also involved but decided to financially support allies rather than fight. In fact, Japan outright banned acts of war. Therefore an alternate was created, that’s where the Special Abilities Private High School comes into the story. To make a squadron of unarmed soldiers with psychic powers.
If I say more its pretty much spoilers but I highly recommend giving this a read if you’re a fan of military/sci-fi/supernatural type series, this has it all (even romance). At the end of each volume there’s cute 4koma pages too which was fun to read after the heavy plot-filled volume. Also if you’re familiar with Danganronpa don’t be too attached to these characters too. ૮ – ﻌ–ა
