Anyone read any of this yet? Imangascans released it a while back and I'd completely forgot about it, and *poof* another group grabs it outta the blue to try and push them into action (by releasing chapter 6 ... when no one has done 3-5 -_-" )

It's got some pretty sharp art; the art is by the guy that did UnbalanceXUnbalance, so it's got a pretty typical seinen manwha vibe, but that's more or less a plus as far as I'm concerned. It's pretty violent, they've got a yandere sister with a brother complex, and *poof* they throw random fantasy elements along the lines of Black God (i.e. they've gotten involved in random fights to the death with superpowers blah blah). But overall ... I'm just sticking with it for the art. There are plenty of other similar manwha (e.g. Veritas), just thought I'd throw it out there ^^;

have you considered adding recommendations? ie, on the rebirth page, recommending veritas and such?

i ask because we have a HUGE need for manga recommenders... i personally add a ton for the stuff i read (which tends to be focused on sci fi/horror), and there's a handful of people who have been adding them for shoujo titles, but in general we need way more recs for people to start taking the manga recs here seriously. any recs you could add for manga you've read would be very appreciated ^_^

(update: looks like we didnt have the title up yet, adding it now)

i lied, we DO have this up... looks like the names are weird though, ill look into that

Yeah, the first time I saw the title I thought it was Rebirth (another Manwha) O.o

And I always forget to make recomendations . _."


Although it's kinda hard given the sheer volume titles you can relate any title to.

i hear ya - seriously it seems WAY worse with manga! i tend to remember all the anime i see, but theres SO many manga that are almost identical (especially with the generic shoujo shit) that i find it's impossible to make recs for a lot of things i read... if only because i cant remember what all ive read :(

in order to help add recs, what ive made myself do is read manga that i KNOW have similar themes, in sets... thus its fresh in my mind and then at least a few series have cross recs XD
