Even the game is so so the char for it seems to be intersting. But by what I see so far as art goes.. this manga seems like it's going to be better than the game. This title looks like it's going to be good one.

Kickass. I remember noticing Hai's signature on some of the sample art in Play Magazine a while back, and had a good feeling it was the one we know and love. Art's awesome, and I'm looking forward to this manga.

Now, to go out and play the game...

Cheers!
HAI!

Yea, but a press release on Death Jr. deserves no other date, wouldn't you agree? :catgirl:

Hai's art looks so good, and the greyscale tones are super-nice! Can't wait! :happyhappy:

Can't believe it took me this long to notice this thread. I agree with Twi, the art looks excellent and the character does seem to be one with a lot of interesting possibilities.

:catgirl: Can't wait to see how it turns out. Looks quite interesting, and the shoujo bit thrown in there makes it all worthwhile. Too bad there isn't a MediEvil manga....[/img]

The shoujo bit is a tough learning curve but pretty exciting, nonetheless. I just have to be more careful in handling the characters and storyline since this is more character driven with lots of mushy sequences.
:luvu:

Must fight temptation to turn this into a shonen book...

For anyone interested about the Death Jr manga, you can head over to my journal http://haiandlow.livejournal.com where I post progress reports and ocassional shameless begging.
