Here is the visual for the manga:
Big Order is an action, supernatural manga written and illustrated by Sakae Esuno, known for his Mirai Nikki manga – which ended in 2010. Big Order started in 2011 under Kadokawa Shoten’s Monthly Shonen Ace magazine where a total of 8 volumes have been published to date. An OVA adaptation of the series was produced and bundled with the 7th volume.
Here is the series’ synopsis:
Ten years ago, a child wished for the destruction of the world. Now, a group of people has the ability to grant their wishes depending on their power. They are called “Order User.”
Before these great people who have the power of “Order,” one person excels the most with the ability to rule and conquer the world and turn people into puppets when it is in his jurisdiction. This power belongs to Hoshimiya Eiji, who is also responsible for the destructive phenomena that happened exactly ten years ago.
The TV anime adaptation of Big Order is in production and will air in the Spring 2016 anime season. Additional information about the anime will be revealed at a later date.
