well, i'm confused by how someone can be an "ex-veteran" of Celestial Being if it's set just as CB begins their interventions... but the entire prospect of the '004' mystery being addressed by this manga does make me want to read it...

i'm just afraid it'll spoil stuff from the anime...

and so, on that note, /me puts moderator hat on.... I would like people to NOT mention events and important info revealed in this manga when discussing the show. For all we know, some of the things from this might end up being key in the show, and I know not everyone is going to read this. So, i'd like to again ask that those reading this manga don't go around in the anime discussion talking about the manga.
