I'll be frank: when I started this and saw the art, I really though about dropping it right away. However, I decided to give it a chance and soon ended up so hooked I marathoned this in quite a long reading session. Important lesson about appearances indeed. This story is pretty much character-driven. The poor art is not the only deceiving thing: at the beginning you get the feeling that you're going to read some gag manhwa. What you will soon get, however, is lots (and I mean LOTS) of angst, inner demons and overall sadness. The main theme of this story is probably defined by theoverused phrase "What has science done?" that people's so fond of nowadays. We get to be on the shoes of both samples and the scientists responsible for them. Our main character is the ultimate example of the "sample" side, feeling pretty much out of place from humanity and nature. We accompany her on her painful life's journey as she seeks both a peaceful shelter and her soulmate. Some characters aren't as polished, but pretty much everyone gets to have at least some screentime to shine. Their ultimate fate in the end burdens the main character even more. I highly suggest to give this manhwa a chance, especially if you're fond of stories full of despair and an overpowered but flawed heroine, spiced with just a tiny glint of hope.
Normal City sets its background in a far future where mankind is on other planets and existence of ESPs is accepted. However, ESPs are treated as a "tool" by the army. The main character is code named "Kitty 101" by a scientist, Troll. Kitty 101 was biologically created by combining several strings of DNA with a man-made DNA. She was also given XY chromosome which turns her into a male on a regular basis. However, one of Troll's scientists, Jason Haven, stole baby Kitty 101 and ran away in order to save her from the experiments. At the same time, Jason Haven named her Mars Haven and brought her as his own daughter, cause she looked like his lost daughter. Time passed. The scientist Troll, Samuel Jones by his real name, proceeded with his experiments on the ESPs under his disposal. (Source MU)
