Sanctuary

[LadyCs]

I just started this new manga series called Sanctuary. Just look at the art:






I think it's good, here's a summary:

Sanctuary has everything that defines a seinen series: complex characters, a thrilling story, passionate sex, and ruthless violence. Sanctuary's story revolves around Akira Hojo and Chiaki Asami, two childhood friends that took opposite paths in life. One joins the gang in Japan, the Yakuza, and the other joins the government. Some say it's "The Godfather" of Japanese manga; we feel that if any manga is going to blow your mind, this series just might be it!

O= Go read it! SPECTRUM NEXUS · Manga Scans · Sanctuary

----------- So now has anyone else read or heard of it?

[Betong Åsna]

No, but it looks impressive!

This is definitely something I'd buy rather than download, though.

When you say "Godfather" of japanese manga, do you mean it's like a japanese version of the Godfather?

[Betong Åsna]

I assume she does. It's certainly not a godfather figure to manga

[GSDAkatsuki]

ok i c. So is there like some big crime thing going down or something?

[LadyCs]

Oh betong read it now, and then buy. @.@ I just finished the whole series, and I'm about to cry. I can't wait to go buy all 9 volumes when they're released.

Well it's sort of has the whole gangster underworld thing going on, but also tons of political corruption at the top. It's an amazing work, and it's story, characters, and art is just great =D

It's designed for adults, I take it? Probably won't have furigana
