Personal ratings: 3.5
Though i think that this manga is nice, I also find that it has many confusions and almost too many unexpected turns. 

This manga really likes to talk about the past and the present at the same time. It also has many "virtual" world (or things that happen in the Abyss) that i do not really understand. 
When it's time to reveal something, they like to throw chunks of information at the reader, which makes things very confusing. Also, because of the time lagg in Abyss, i was really confused of the character's age and everything that happened before they were thrown into Abyss.
In this manga, there were to many unexpected turn of events that made the whole manga lose it's suspense. (or so i find that.) There were many cliff hangers that did not really mean a thing in the next chapter (after the cliff hanger).

What i really liked was that they tell us parts of the past, leaving suspense, and later, show us the whole truth. 
I also liked the fact that there were little crying scenes and that the main character is not always the best. In the end it was found out the Oz, was not someone who is considered 'good' but a chain, which i found very interesting. 
Another thing was the past of Jack. Instead of being a Hero, he was the reason that the disaster started.

Art ratings: 4
I love the art, totally in love with the Chibi art. :3 but for some scenes, i find that i can't really make out what the author is trying to draw...
