Ah-ha. Look at that. I guess it was Morbos that said it.

Blade, my apologies. You and Morbos just right in such a mature manner I didn't notice.

...Gomen for that.

Now, now... Code Geass can be a hit or miss for anybody. Personally... I watch it for Guren. Oh, and Guren / Lancelot battle(s).

...No really, I'm sorry blade.

Ditto

First chapter seemed.....vanilla/generic. But I suppose I'll give it another chance but only because of the brand name.

LOL fuck people give them past the 1st chapter to give up on it.

Eternal Dreamer · 2010-06-26, 20:52

I personally found the first chapter to be quite interesting. It raised a lot of questions and mysteries (especially at the end with the "fail"), which I think is a plus for the first chapter of a new manga. One thing's for sure, it certainly makes you want to see the next chapter, at least so that that ending can be cleared up.

I'll admit, though, that this new manga definitely seems more "shounen" than LoR. But in my opinion, that's fine, and in a way, it fits. This time the main character isn't some ubber-genius with plans of taking over the world (definitely unique in that category, LoR), but rather a more typical shounen-ish, rough kid who speaks better with his fists than his mouth. (Though that's just my first impression; things might turn out differently as the series continues.) Obviously the plot won't follow the same pace and atmosphere as the original, but I don't really mind that myself. As long as the story's interesting (and goes more into detail about the mysteries about Geass and C.C., of course), I look forward to keep reading it. (Though some people may disagree with me on that, and for good reasons, as well.

)

It's up to the person. If they want to give up after reading the first chapter - that's their problem. Long as they don't force their views on anyone else... I imagine everything just being peachy.

I'll get around to reading it. With the reviews from everyone, I can imagine it starting out interesting.

Laurcus · 2010-06-26, 21:46

I personally liked the first chapter, though I eat up anything Geass related.

Sol Falling · 2010-06-27, 01:29

lol. So, like, is Suzaku the main character this time or something? :P I haven't really been following this project, so all I know is that Lelouch and C.C. lookalikes are appearing, but Renya resembles Suzaku enough that I'd hope he is an analogue as well. If so, this series gets an automatic and premature 'awesome' rating from me.

Renya aside, the plot itself was also decently interesting. I like how it both paralleled and diverged from the anime's first episode. One random thought that struck me which might be totally off, but did Renya note that the attackers who raided the village were 'Portugese Jesuits'? Given the similarity of their armour to the outfit that Reifu C.C. showed up in, I'm feeling hints of a pseudo-Christian/religious background for Geass like Nightmare of Nunally had with the "Eden Vital" etc.

I'm pretty interested in seeing more of this.

morbosfist · 2010-06-27, 01:53

Renya might as well be the Suzaku analogue from what little we've been shown of him, while "Lelouch" would appear to be the antagonist. There might be other cast similarities of note (probably a little Tohdoh in the instructor), but none of the other main cast yet.

Bonzo · 2010-06-27, 06:09

When is Chapter 2 due?

Nayrael · 2010-06-27, 09:49

The first chapter was quite good IMO. Didn't expect Samurai-Ninja Jesuits tough XD

BTW, shouldn't Renya have its own tread?

Yea this thread seems redundant (manga wise) now, probably only for the anime which hasn't begun yet.

Well, we say a month, but it all depends on if and when someone can get a hold of the manga magazine for the raws. I myself have preordered it, but I have no idea when I'll actually get it, so the time is all up in the air. (Though it'll probably be in July.)

~~Arbitres~~ · 2010-06-27, 13:37

The scanlation for the first chapter of Renya is out, if that interests you. Other than that... Nothing. Just chatter here and there with some questions mixed in.

I've yet to read the chapter, and I think I'll wait before I devote myself to it. I'm not saying it won't be good, but I'm keeping myself on the fence.

A generic Code Geass Manga Thread exists since the manga discussion never seemed as popular as the show itself we never bothered creating seperate manga threads. Id use this for now.

Lolipopo · 2010-06-28, 17:42

Didn't read the first chapter myself. Design...urgh.

Anyway is that girl C.C. in the end ? Cause I saw "C.C. lookalike" in a post while I thought it was established she was the real C.C..

Chupps · 2010-06-28, 18:02

That is indeed the genuine C.C.

Cephei Mordred · 2010-06-29, 14:08

I'm not going to bother with the manga since anime alone is canon, but I will say...

Code Geass took a drastic turn after its first episode or two also, so I wouldn't judge any Geass series by its first chapter/episode.

Actually, this manga is canon, according to the director of the anime
