There’s nothing like browsing an old book sale to find tons of Manga you never heard of for $1 or less. You might find a hidden gem of a series or you may find a literary disaster.
Nine new random volumes were added to my collection and I began my journey, this go around, with a very strange looking one.
Dated 2005, the Manga was printed left to right so you know it was from the bygone americanization era, but something more strange caught my eye, a lot of the characters’ names, in the apparently Japanese Manga, were Chinese and something even stranger was I recognized that the author and illustrator’s name wasn’t actually Japanese, but South Korean, so it wasn’t a Manga at all, it was a Manhwa!
Chronicles of the Cursed Sword, Volume 22, from Author, Yeo Beop-Ryong and Illustrator, Park Hui-Jin, does a good job of catching you up to speed with summaries and the character introduction page, which are also part of a bygone era.
So, you start the read right in the middle of a battle, in the middle of a war, while preparations and other battles are still breaking out everywhere and it ends during a battle between as they put it the Legendary Bowman General Yeh and the Warrior God Jukwol. It was definitely a good action packed read.
So, what strange thing will I find in the stack next, with only eight more to go!
