Seikon No Qwaser is an ongoing manga series authored by Hiroyuki Yoshino (Code Geass, Mai-hime, Mai-otome ... look his wikipedia) and featuring art by Kenetsu Satō .

[Attention : MATURE contents (well it's just some boobs ^^) ]

Summary :
The story takes place on the grounds of St. Mihailov Academy, a Japanese Eastern Orthodox school, and draws heavily on religious references from the aforementioned religion. Here it follows the trials and hardship of two of its students, Oribe Mafuyu and Tomo Yamanobe, until the encounter with a mysterious, silver-haired, Russian boy named Alexander, or Sasha for short. This pits them and the whole school in an all-out war between the Church itself and the so-called “Adepts”, a sect of individuals wielding powers linked to the elements of chemistry. Though based on the common magical girl concept shown in series such as Sailor Moon, the story diverges in depicting extreme acts of bloodshed, brutality and perversion, and also makes heavy use of fanservice.

One important and controversial theme of the series is that of the sacred substance known as Soma, which allows the Qwasers to draw upon their powers and wield their elements in battle. This is connected to the main goal of the Adepts, the Theotokos of Tsarytsin, an icon depicting the Virgin Mary breastfeeding an infant Jesus which, according to their belief, holds the secrets of the Sacred Mysteries, such as the Messiah’s resurrection. Linked to this is the fact that the Soma is, in actuality, breast milk, and that the Qwasers have to replenish themselves by means of suckling it, a process which apparently derives pleasure and tires heavily those women who nurse them.

I see it on Moetron and I was interested. First it has not a bad design (even these girls are ... *NSFW* lol), well if you don't include girls it's always interesting ^^.
We have again a manga related to religious things (remind DGM ?) and the main character looks like a lot Allen Walker, it's a bit disturbing but after reading the first chapter you won't say he's like Allen. And the plus ! is surely the surnatural power and the concept who are a bit ... complex should I say ... but it's awesome !

I'm not totally convinced but I have to continue to read it, it's seemed pretty popular but why I never heard this name : Seikon no Qwaser. Well, I'm still suspicious about the plot also so ...*back to reading*

Another thing, It will be adapted in anime soon, surely for 2010 or September.
