Just started reading this mahnwa this morning, and I liked it. I thought the characters introduced were great, and the artwork was pretty good. The series so far has non-stop action, and they are very well done and entertaining. I've read up to chapter 9, and I still don't know well what's going on, the story has been fairly wierd so far. I suspect that the plot will become clear pretty soon.

The manga is licensed by Dark Horse, but Manga-Underground is releasing it anyways.


In a strange future where gifted, "hybrid" humans police the planet, Mina is a likeable tomboy with growing psychic powers. When a young boy falls into a coma after gazing into her eyes, it's clear that there's more to Mina than her pretty looks. This young boy, Hinchang, grows up to be quite a daredevil, and his awkward, secret love for Mina fuels his protective fire when mysterious men arrive, bringing the violence of the "hybrid" world with them!
Taken from Dark Horse

Well, check it out and let me know what you think. Expect lots of action scenes, fighting, power using, gun shooting, chasing scenes, etc.

I read it a couple days ago, it was OK, but I found it a tad boring. Maybe it's cause the main character is so plain and all he does is ride his motorcycle and run into people. I agree with you that I have no idea what's going on. Anyways it should be good until it's end at 5 volumes. Apparently the mangaka or whatever you would call a korean manhwa author, is also the artist of Until Death Do Us Part.

Lol, I was going to post that the art reminded me of Until Death Do Us Part, but decided not to. If I had known he was the same artist, I would've mentioned it. Yeah, the main character has been boring so far, but I think he'll improve. We really haven't seen much of him or anyone for that matter other than from some action and chase scenes. I think in the next few chapters when things get explained and such we'll see another side of him. I don't know, the action so far has been good enough to keep me reading regardless of the plot and such.

Edit: Now I see why I didn't notice, it seems that he uses a pen name in Until Death Do Us Part

Chapter 11 is out:
http://silverado.mindwerks.net/

Nothing much in this chapter, other than a bit of the past and the emo kid going on a rampage. Next chapter should be nice.

Chapter 12 is also out:

Thought this was a nice action chapter, but it's mostly a setup for the next chapter... Hopefully we'll finally see the main character fight.

Looks like we finally arrived to the good part of the manga, since Inchang seems to finally start kicking ass.

Just read upto 19, it seems to be getting better but still need more time to get a better understanding of what is truly going on.

I'll stick with it, because it's been interesting enough.

Chapter 20 is out also.
