Kurokami (Black God)
I'm quite surprised that there is no manga thread for this title
(Bits taken from NeoSam's original post) 黒神 Black God (Kuro Kami) The manga is serialized in the seinen manga magazine Young GanGan. Currently there are 9 volumes released of this manga. Covers: Spoiler:
Author: Dall-Young Lim Artist: Sung-Woo Park Genre: Seinen, Fantasy, Action, Drama __________________________________________________ Well for me this is one of those better licensed series that actually got be collecting the manga Actually since it is of korean original it should be Manwha which not surprisinly is rather different from manga since these korean stories tend to be more "heavy" than the usual manga titles. And I guess what attracts me to this title is the uniqueness of the story together with the designs of the characters. Got to hand it to Sung-Woo Park when it comes to some damn sexy fight scenes

I would think it has more to do with Lim Dall-Young's authorial style than the general Korean manwha scene, personally. I've seen a lot of Korean "shoujo" which are extremely light (though also others that feel like Korean dramas).

They are too awesome to be axed so easily ;____; Quote:
Though shoujo is quite a different genre to compare with korean "fighting" stuff :3

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, I like Black God too.

Still, I have also seen Korean "shounen" that's also very light, even downright silly or amateurish, while this stuff is always interesting. |

And thankyou for remind me of that
As I actually took the time to read up on it. Another great title that is shaping up to be (but the author seems to have a nack with weak males getting stronger through lots of hardships ). Sadly Kurokami is coming out rather slow...and the anime has diverged quite a bit.

On a somewhat related note to this series, the artist of this manga has a new manga in Ultra Jump the first chapter has been translated though you gotta look for it. Can't give you a link because the site is where they put up raws for all manga series. PM me is your interested in knowing where to get it.

I still prefer LDY's style over PsW... LDY's plots tend/seem to be deeper and more complicated. No offense to PsW fan, just a personal preference. |

Since my runes reading are limited, I can only understand the jokes and casual conversation (essentially missing out on the important parts of the story) I can only tell you that Spoiler:

I don't think it was particularly cheesy. She learnt about her fate, and decided to go against it, even if she had to kill to survive.
Anyway, am I the only one thinking Akane's sole purpose in the story is find herself in a position similar to Keita's mother but to survive? As in, her doppeliner is trying to become a minus root, but unlike Shinobu, she'll most likely be stopped before she kills Akane.

Meh I still don't get it, why her doppleliner is sending canon fodders...pretty sure Reishin could have the job done long long ago. Then again we won't get any story if that was the case. Quote:
She seems to be pretty unstable person, might have been feeling guilty all this time. |
