[Seinen] nacuN (Sci-fi)

[Takos]

Near future. A world renowned mathematician/physicist Francis Duram loses his left brain hemisphere and retires from the hard science to study dolphins. Several years later he comes up with the new thesis(which is essentially a collection of dolphin footage). As the "thesis" is being severly criticized by the media, Ishii Mitsunari(a student living in America) discovers the idea hidden there, that will help to complete the true Artifical Intelligence. Motivated to create the AI first, Mitsunari leaves for Okinawa, to see what Duram had seen.

The reviews are highly positive throughout the series. With one caveat: the mindblowing stuff that happens after 2nd volume is not easy to wrap your head around. So don't judge the complete work by the first volume(even though it's good already).
