wow....this one has it all: blood, violence, hawt chicks, pantsu shots, titties, sex, rape, watever u want its in there, sumwhere.

resembles a recent anime called ikkitousen this manga pwnz it to helllz, with better story, better characters, and more depth. dispite all of this, the story is a bit loose, and kinda jumps around. rumors have it that theres an anime version coming out in april, id bee looking forward to that, and hoping that its not another major disappointment.

heres a place with info and bt for the manga:

Yes, I have bought up to Vol 10 (the latest so far & still ongoing). It is a much much better fighting manga. Of course the 'mature' elements are heavy as well. Definitely not for the young members of society.

Later issues involve murder & destinies & mystical jemba-jemba involving "societies".

I am looking forward to the anime. First episode supposedly will be broadcast over April the 1st according to Moon Phase. Hopefully they won't bastardize it to become Ikkitousen *shiver*.

I had suggested previously for A-S to pick this up to sub if they wish.

Edited: Typo correction darn *d* is next to *s*...
Best Dr Claw imitation: "I'll get you Kaiser...I'll get you the next time..." Razz

Yes, read all 10 volumes and you'll see that it's NOT Ikkitoussen. Razz

Anyway, there are some decapitation later on too (and you can see all the intestines and stuff), but I think it's still fairly tamed compared to some of the manga that I've read.

Learnt this from somewhere else.

The anime is seemingly licensed by Geneon USA as seen from the last sentence of this news item

http://www.itmedia.co.jp/games/gsnews/0403/19/news26.html

(corrected. Stupid fullstop at the end...)

You get to see the cast/crew and the sample poster though. Looks nice.

OK thanks. Razz

Sp apparently Geneon USA is one of the producers of the show... So that should mean two things...

1) It's licensed, but since its Geneon people might still sub it
2) It'll be targeted at an American audience, so it'll most likely be crap Confused

Oh well... At least the manga is still good. Smile

I read up to volume 10 of the manga. I have to say even with all the plots being revealed and all, its still feels like a medicore series to me.

The plot revolves around fighting and people trying to train to become stronger to oppose the Enforcer group which has a past that goes all the way back to ancient Japan.

Maya seems like a rebel to me, she never liked her brother's group (secretly hunted the group members) and i'm not sure why she is going after forked eyebrows punisher guy, since he didn't directly cause the death of her brother.

The flashback is nice explains some details but it doesn't explain why things are happening like that. Characters feelings are fucked up. It just seems like a whole bunch of jumble.

There are some hilarious parts in the story however, I do like some of the humour and alot of the minor characters more so than the main characters.

To me it still is a fighting series, held together by a "history" between the characters and lots of fanservice. If I was gonna read this manga series, in truth.. it would be for the fanservice and the ecchi comedy rather than the fighting or main story.

I don't see the anime becoming a great thing either.

I read all of the tenjo tenge manga because i like the fighting and comedy. The 1st anime episode of tenjo tenge was kinda good, but i agree, the story is a bit confusing at times Confused

Ok, lets get a bit of thread revival going for such a cool manga Razz

Yebyosh · Posted: Sun May 02, 2004 2:58 am Post subject:

Eh... no...

There are 7 Dragons within a human body. Each Dragon is associated with a particular element,

Now everyone has these dragons in their body. To borrow the Dragon's Power, one has to gather his ki in a particular manner to unlock his own Dragon Gate. The way to unlock his Gate is different for each and everyone (thus the particular manner) and is based on his martial art style, training, personality, thinking and emotions.

The 6 households of the Takayanagi clan each has their own method to open their Dragon Gates. Natsume family as well.

But there is also the 8th "Dragon", which is the whole world. And that Dragon with the other 7 completes the Universe. That last Dragon is associated with the Nagi family.

While unlocking the Gates, one can command the power of the Dragons, the risk remains that if one cannot synchronise with & possess the strength of character to control the Dragon, one would be consumed by it. Thus the 'feedback' effect of mutation and madness. Each family specialised in controlling their Dragon, hence rarely ventured to control the others. It requires a special person to possess the potential for controlling all Dragons.

Souichiro is recognised for having the genes/potential for an "Exorcist" (I could be getting this term wrong) (similar to Shin & Mitsuogi). With the proper training & shaping, he would be able to unlock his Dragon Gate for all Dragons. As of this moment (Vol 10), he is still only able to unlock his Earth Dragon.

Summary:
1. Everyone has the Dragons
2. Only a few possess the potential to control all Dragons

All of these information can be found in Vol 9, Fight 52 & 53.
