I came across this manga at Barnes and Noble, and couldn't resist it. It's based on an anime series about a future in which individuals' emotional states - including propensity for crime - are carefully monitored, with task forces authorized to apprehend anyone whose psycho-hue reaches dangerous levels. (It seems there are techniques people can use to reduce stress - a factor in the change in psycho-hue - such as special medications, meditation techniques, etc., but how effective these are is questionable.)
The story leaps into gear right away, filling us in on the society's rules, the nature of the psycho-pass business, and the characters on the task force, especially Inspector Shinya Kogami. There are some nice touches involving different levels of criminal nature, and hints as to the futuristic times - a "lucky book" is a rare printed copy, seldom seen these days. The main plot involves illegal organ trafficking, and one of the suspects - who's terminated with prejudice by our heroes - is on tape revealing suspicious scars on his own body suggesting a more complex crime. But to find out more I'll have to wait for the next volume!
