I am starting to really enjoy Veritas. It still has a dumb ass as the main character which I find all to common ( Yes unfortunately I even tire of Luffy's dumb assness most of the time) but I think the story is very intelligent. Although I don't know the entire story or background I like how there are no real bad guys, no real evil, just different shades of circumstance. I really enjoy stories where they treat the audience as adults were there are no absolutes and everyone is good and everyone is evil, creates far more suspense than the usual I am purely good and my enemy is purely evil bs that we get most of the time. Probably why I like One Piece, has I think it fits well with my taste of no absolutes.

The one thing i think the main character here has going for him is that he might be a dumb ass, but he's nothing special and he generally a bit of a dick, which makes him all the more likeable.
And on that topic NOOOOO GUESONG BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to hell with Guesong, he was a beast until he threw his life away for a chick… he's the weak link in the chain.... he sold out Honse and now threw away his own life for... nothing..
Guesong can rot.
-
Guesong can rot.
Guesong still has some suprise left, after all evertying is still in shadow, at least in onemanga lol.
-
I feel bad the Guesong died because I wanted to see some more techniques from his but I pretty much agree with Apostrophe. I hate characters who kill themselves for the stupidest reasons.
-
well I doubt he is dead, for an illusionist there should always be doubt. I think he was playing a part to get that kiss he has been (Joke time) dieing for :P .
-
I'd miss guesong purely cos he seems to be simply insane.
But (and here the ppl who have read the RAWs might feel superior) does anyone believe Lightning Tiger's dead? But mostly I want to know how iron soul won that match.
-
Just for some background info.. the authors cahnged heroine quite a lot -_-
first the heroine was shinra and than the heroine changed to Madoka and its now…
someone.About the Iron soul guy winning against Anachella and her Combat style
! Actually he did not win the match, it was yuri who was behind Anachella who kiled her, by stopping her movemant and Ki so she could do nothing against Guhoo's sucide attack which she could have easilly dodged, She was the successor NamTakken which is considered to be as strong as Vera and Yuri's martial arts. One of her specialty was natrual wave whichi made her invulnerable to any kind of attacks including Vera's Spacial Void Fist. Oh and her body and talent for martial art was classified as S class just like Vera.
And Jiha's martial art
! I dont know how to properlly translate it to english so I will just talk about what his martial art does. It is a gamble. He can call upon a various gods from mythology to manifest in his body, some of the strong ones will make him at least on par with Yuri but the chances are slim and he does not have control over what god(Ghost) will manifest in his body.
-
Is Jiha the curly haired guy on rud's team and yuri iron soul guy's team mate/ bitch??
-
Jiha is the curly haired guy.
Yuri is the older sister of Vera.
-
The only problem i have with this manga is that basically every 5-th line is Vera…
Vera here vera there... What the hell? And the similarities with DBZ are too blatant! -
-
Ah the mirage technique? And the kamehamehas everywhere? :)
-
Those are in every martial arts manga ever. If you want to say that's copying DBZ maybe you need to read some more manga.
-
The problem is i see no meaning behind all the fights they have for vera or not. Why that masked guy had to try to rape vera then fight her then kiss her and and and… Was the author trying to say that love complicates things to such extend?
-
Man, you totally didn't understand that interaction at all.
-
So he was trying to see what is valuable to vera and went that far is that it? And he sacrificed so much for her and she doesn't seem to care?
-
I thought he explained it well enough. He fell in love with Vera when they were kids, seeing here vulnerable and in the shadow of her sister. He tried to help her and that is why he was part of their little group, but Vera was to perfect. She was a perfect beauty, perfectly impartial… perfectly indifferent. It made him hate her, she was just to good at everything, but he still loved her. He only tried to "rape" her to get a reaction from her, something, anything, just a reaction but not even that could get her to really notice him. It is unrequited love and just as you can love someone and hate someone that is what they have, just amplified for manga effect. I actually love the complexity of the relationships and the story.
-
not reading anything in here yet, cause i don't want to spoil myself, but this manga sure is great, funny and entertaining!
thanks for drawing my attentin to it to the guys who started this! -
Oh yeah, speaking of thanks, I forgot to thank TL Chan for mentioning Change 123 a couple of days ago. That manga is all types of awesome.

Since you're taking recommendations, I highly recommend History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. Among everything else, it totally has women that kick all kinds of ass with the main character's goal to rival being a woman.
-
The art looks deplorable.
-
The art looks deplorable.
Are you kidding? The art is one of the best I've seen. Maybe the art style isn't your cup of tea but the art is totally One Piece level if not more even in early chapters and it improves too.
Heck, the art is so good all around that I don't even have the heart to find you a specific example. I highly recommend you read it if you haven't. In my opinion, besides art, the story is pretty interesting, characterization is stellar and the fights are amazing. Also it has entertaining training arcs. ENTERTAINING training arcs.
But this is all my opinion. Do what you want:3
-
What annoys me a little in History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi are the uber god powers of the masters….
! walk on water being so strong that the eyes begin to shine lol…
-
the only good about this manga is the chicks…..the author didn't have the guts to kill them...even after getting bitchslapped so hard, they're still in one piece.
@MM
that's on the same level with badass smile in One Piece.
-
i'm always annoyed when girls that don't even have the muscle power to lift 10 kgs are able to blast kamehamehas, withstanding the impact on the arm without moving… In One Piece it doesn't appears that much. And Oda has the guts to draw girls with mucles too. And nami is weak so is robin. DFs help to overcome that weakness by women that doesn't have that much raw strength...
I don't know why but i have something against super powerful girls with only skin on their bones and big tits.. -
I really like this manga, although I dont know if it could become an anime because it is Korean…
-
Korean anime?…it feels strange to hear Korean style voice...
-

There is this korean drama series being adapted into anime named winter sonata,so if they ever wanna make veritas into anime i dont think there would be a problem because its Korean.
About the chicks in veritas,well for me other than her fight with Lightning Tiger,Vera is just plain boring character.Shinra's conversations with Jeeja cracks me up all the time.Madoka is cool other than her ''can't we just go back to how we were before''.
Only person i want to see more is Lightning Tiger,he's the best at pwning people,hands down.
-
The best character in the manga is Honse.
-
-
lol honse is the one guy who actually seems properly nice.
personally I still like gangryong for being the protagonist while being such a dick
-
so are the scanlations up-to-date now, or are they still a few chaps behind?
i went as far as 47 which was released today, i think. -
It's not up to date, sadly.
-
y couldn't they translate a few chaps while shouhen was down :'(.
Who do u reckon the 3 ppl who could beat guesong were though? vera obviously, but who else, except maybe iron soul guys friend/bitch
-

Vera is a given, but i'm not entirely sure about Shinra. Jeeha should be above Rud so i recommend him, as for the third… Hayato stopped him once in the past (said by Vera, not on sceen yet -so maybe he has some real badass moves to offer, which would have toped him even now) or someone still unknown. a few new fractions were namely introduced in the last scanlated chaps, maybe one of them (if, there are only 3 to begin with).
It's not up to date, sadly.
just looked at the first page and saw someone saying it's a few VOLUMES behind… now that's sad, or not, either way you're seeing it.
is this a weekly shounen or monthly? -
Can't wait for Honse to unleash his power.
It will be Epic~~~
-

you mean, you want to see Honse screaming: 'Releash~~~~!!!'?
…yeah, me too. -
got absolutely no idea what just happened in this issue, could anyone give a summary? thx
(struggled to understand the translation on onemanga)
-
@gilligans:

yeah best tried best understand.
Entire chapter read like dyslexic. -
They've uploaded and have replaced the old scan on onemanga.com
I'm sure youc an dl it as well from somwhere now too.
But anyways.
Wow look at firedragon go with his basket of goodies.
I can't wait to see Gang power up and bea the living shit out of iron boy.
also wow he gave him the pronciplies for vera's freestyle hand movements. ( I think )
I dunno what vera's doing going to Bro's family but it doesn't sound good.
Hope we get to seem the little guy fight for once. His name escapes me.
also, Can't wait to see who all the members of the student council are. :P
-
no idea if those principles & counters are against Vera#s style or not, but Rud (and maybe otheres) sure has some new stuff to train there.
the guy you (and everyone else) wants to see fighting is Jeeha and i could never forget his name, cause it's so similar to 'Yeeeeeha!' and would be the perfect name for my chimpanzee… if i ever get one.
sure would be great seeing him step into the cage once in a while, to show where he stands... maybe it'll be the rematch against Shinra then.iron boy is reserved for Rud, but i think that he gets a pre-perfected thunder-skill smack up from gangyrong (or whatever, that's a name i can never remember...).
nice to see the forebodings of quick progressions and more characters in this chap!
-
Is it just that I am retarded or something but is this manga really hard to understand. Pretty pictures though.
-
Hopefully Rud Han will win against Vera. (I doubt it though)
Why are all the female charater's such high class bitches?
-
That's a damn good question.
-
guesong's lieutenant seemed to be a little different.
but anyone know what happened to this weeks chapter?
-
New chapter out…next week the one who killed Lighting tiger is revealed !
-

I don't think Lightning Tiger is really dead.
-
lol, i was reading his name wrong all along, was i?
Lighting Tiger not Lightning Tiger… that extra N sure does make a difference.i still love how Gangryong is such a dick. just perfect for a protagonist :P
wah, i just picked a spider off the wall and fushed it down the toilet, that had the freakishly longest legs i've ever seen on a spider and all her legs had different length... creepy!
-
this is the only manga where I am constantly amazed at how good the art work is
