Manga: Jackals

[Munsu]

This is a fairly recent manga, and chapter 1 was just released from a group called Strays. Read it, and I really liked it. But be warned, it seems like it'll be very violent, but the fights will be very good.

First chapter by Strays:

So far from what I can see the series is about a City that is full of murders by the way of assassins. There seems to be a group of kickass assassins called Jackals. There's also some sort of rivalry from what it seems to be two mafia groups. That's pretty much the main points I've gathered from the first chapter.

Here are a couple of samples, but be warned about the violence and possible spoilers for the first chapter:

Anyways, I think some of you will really like this series.

Just read the chapter and it seems it could go really well.

Violence is not lacking, and the weapon is something different. It looks like it wont disappoint

I liked the art it was great and lots of blood and gore. There is also some pretty cool characters already and they look badass. Not much story so far but I will definately continue reading this whenever Strays release.

Not much to say on that chapter, but they could keep this cop around for a while if they'd like, but I don't know if that's going to happen.

He doesn't seem to like many people, if there were more like this guy around, I don't see how they city would've turned out the way it is.

[Munsu]

What I understood was that cops usually take bribes and that's the main problem, and not only that they also seem to have some crazy ass fuckhead cops like the one shown in the chapter.

[Munsu]

Well, chapter 3 is out!

Finally, that took forever. Its probably gonna take another 3 months for the next chapter.

[kAi]

Yeah, oh well.

damn, he can throw that thing from a far distance with some speed. He must catch alot of people off guard with it, as you would think you need to be close for it to work properly.

[Munsu]

Well, the project has been revived with a new joint between Strays and Illuminati-Manga, so hopefully we'll see a more stable release rate now.

Here are chapters 4-6:

Chapter 6 link is dead =(

edit: nvm, it's working now.

[Munsu]

More of the same for these two chapters... nice action, everyone showing why they're "the strongest and the coolest shit in the neighborhood".

I got to say though, those flower bombs suck ass.

It's quite possible that this manga has ended. If anyone is still reading it thought you might want to know. Overall it was okay, could have been a lot better but not a total loss.
