Great manga

Qwan is personally my favorate manga I have read (and I have read many). It has an amazing story and great characters. Qwan is strange boy sent to earth by the Gods, who can eat demons, travels through Eastern Han Dynasty China with his winged companion Teikou, looking for the sutra known as the Essential Arts of Peace which he knows for certain will reveal who he is and what his purpose in life is. But there are other people interested in the sutra, like Yuushi, who will ambush him and try to stop him. Some characters in Qwan's story were portrayed from real figures in Chinese history. For example, Aman (aka. Cao Cao), Cao Jie, Jou Kai and Chin Ban. This is an amazing story for those who like fantasy or are intrested in chinese culture. The artwork looks beautifull, though I would rate an age of around 16+ for the violance in later volumes.

read it

the art is great, the storyline is interesting, the main character "Qwan" is cute. And I cant wait untill the second volume comes out.I think it is a must have for your comic collection.
