Other Title(s) : Shaman Warrior

Summary : Manshin-musas - or "Shaman Warriors" - can harness spirits and become berserk and wreck havoc. Yarang is one of the strongest Manshin-musas who has been given a position as a government official for his valor in war. Plenty of blood and gore. Presented in the original Korean format, Shaman Warrior is a dramatic fantasy series with a kinetic style that will appeal to fans of Blade of the Immortal and Vagabond! From the desert wastelands emerge two mysterious warriors, master wizard Yarong and his faithful servant Batu. On a grave mission from their king, they have yet to realize the whirlwind of political movements and secret plots which will soon engulf them and change their lives forever. When Yarong is mortally injured, Batu must fulfill a secret promise to leave Yarong's side and protect his master's child. As Batu seeks to find and hide the infant, Yarong reveals another secret to those who have tracked him down to finish him off--the deadly, hidden power of a Shaman Warrior!

Re: Dangu

Ill do that, thanks Gr1mmy.
I checked out the summary and it looks real interesting. they said fans of vagabond and Blade of Immortal will enjoy this Dangu. It just so happens that Vagabond and Blade Of Immortal are 2 of my favorite series!

Re: Dangu

I've read dangu and i think it's pretty good, my only problem is that the Edited Mangas for this manga has stopped. the manhwa already finished but the scans are only up to volume 5. anyone know where to find the rest of the scans? or at least the raws and the translations?

 

[AriSuper]

To put it lightly its " Totally Awesome ".I have to be honest,the guy(Park Joon Gi) is Extremely talented(wunderkind so to say).If you want my advice,be sure to check it out,it's right up there with Blade of The Immortal, Vagabond,...

here's a Preview of the "art quality":

 

[Ramen4ever]

I love this manhwa. My only regret is that there hasn't been a release in a long time. Or at least I'm not sure where to get it. If someone is searching for something new to read.. be warned. It's incomplete and you're going to have a long waiting time ahead of you. ^_^
If waiting for releases is not a problem, then like Arisuper said, it's in the same league as Vagabond or Blade of the Immortal. However Vagabond does have slightly better art, imo. But it's hardly noticeable. The characters are all great and the story is pretty sound. Overall it's a great Manhwa.

 

[AriSuper]

It really seems that there's nothing new on this stuff,I tried pretty much every download page,and nothing.If someone has some new info ,it would be helpful!
It's really a pity , great stuff!

Actually,I found the complete set(1-9),but in Korean(I can't even speak Korean,let alone read it);here's the link if anyone is interested:http://kiligaris.livejournal.com/2508.html#cutid1

Thank you for this recommendation! Boys, the drawing's so cool I'll see to the story a bit. The website has 4 English-scanned volumes, so I'll be done.

@AriSuper: you really DO LIKE realistic art, don't you?!

 

[AriSuper]

I adore it(realistic stuff),as for this manhwa,the way this guy does human anatomy is one of the best I've ever seen(I'd say it goes hand in hand with Raymond(Flash Gordon) and Foster(Prince Valiant).I know many won't agree but the art is "au paire"(some times better) than BOTI and Vagabond.

You can all debate me ,but as a person that has been surrounded by art his whole life(my dad is an artist,and I don't mean to brag but I'm also "talented")this is my objective opinion(personaly I like Vagabond and BOTI better)

 

[Yabe]

^ I kinda disbelieve that it is better than Vagabond. Can you please post some pages to show that "sometime" part which you think it is better? Don't mean to offend you, but I'm fond of Inoue's art and think he's already perfect with the anatomy so I have to let you prove your opinion a bit.

 

[AriSuper]

Not a problem.I'll do that,but you'll have to give me a day or two so I can find the "appropriate " sample.and don't worry ,I'm not offended so easily,This is a discussion after all,our goal is to find the"truth of the matter"(god dam this sounds lame).So ,what I actually mean is fire away,I like a good "debate":

---

Alright, here I am.Sorry if you waited a long time but I was pretty busy.Now,before I start, I want to make something clear: I PERSONALLY LIKE VAGABOND TO THAT EXTENT THAT I WOULD CALL IT GENIUS .Ok,now that we got that out of the way I have to say one more thing Art is Art(and by that I mean it can't be perceived through the level of technique - look at Picasso),and right now I'm talking about technique,not Art or anyones personal favorites.

now,my point was aimed towards the fact that Inoue(Vagabond) sometimes makes the characters disproportional.So in that light in certain occasions Dangu is better(vice versa for Dangu).

can't upload a pic:
here's the linkl :http://img3.imagebanana.com/view/j21kaqm/Vagabondv21015.jpg

in this picture the relations between the head,hand,torso and legs are off,sorry but they are.

 

[Yabe]

I PMed you! (Fearing my discussion was going to be off-topic. )

 

[AriSuper]

Does anyone have any new info on Dangu releases ,I'm really getting ?

 

[GothHearth]

Dangu Is Really Awesome ... Is The Latest Chapiter : Vol 5 , Ch 16 ???

 

[AriSuper]

Yes ,unfortunately it is.Actually the series is complete(all 9 volumes).We're all waiting for someone to scanlate it!

 

[GothHearth]

Hayaku Please !! We Need To Finish This Awesome Manhwa

 

[Se3D03]

I don't know if anyone else was able to catch it, but volume 6 chapter 1 or chapter 40 was posted here in mangahelpers yesterday and I was able to download it. After about an hour though, the thread became invalid. Anyone else catch it?
