First of all I want to make clear that this is a COMIC, it's a Hong Kong comic book so fuck off mods.
So anyways I wanted to storytime something and to change pacing a bit I decided for this. Feng Shen Ji, here goes a pretty generic synopsis.
>The Great Shang dynasty has been in power for many years but the Gods find fault with the new emperor. Instead of submitting to their will at the expense of his people, the Emperor resolves to throw off the Gods' yoke and free humanity. However, not only the Gods but a rival, the young Zhou who submits to the Gods' will for his own purposes will face him!
Let's start anyways, I'll dump a few chapters and see how it goes
>>88683986
Pretty sure manhua is /a/, anon, but thanks
>>88684010
Well like I said it's a comic, its full color too.
>>88684023
Also Manhua is not really /a/, maybe sometimes it is but most of the time anons don't want korean or chinese stuff there and mods seem to delete threads
based
For all intents and purposes this is basically an epic, like the title says there "The Legend and the Hero"
This looks pretty good yo, thanks op
>>88684131
You're welcome anon, enjoy.
>>88684150
I really like chinese armors
great page
>>88684164
>10 days and nights
>>88684254
I love this motherfucker
welp
End of chapter 1
The covers are pretty cool
>>88684388
I like this page, the whole man vs god thing is pretty common but it's still really cool. Though this is based on an ancient novel so it might not have been that common back then
>>88684507
holy fuck I didn't remember that
>>88684670
Goddess pussy, based emperor
End of chapter 2
Is anyone reading?
>>88683986
So guys, how close to Japan do you have to be to get the "Move Along-- White Man''s Country" Macro out of you? /co/ is nao Manhwa. 24-7, 365. Merry Christmas.
gonna download later, thanks op.
>>88683986
This is a great idea, OP. This shit is amazing.
>>88684976
You're welcome, give it a shot it's pretty good
>>88685014
Eh dunno if this is sarcastic or not but I hope you're enjoying it.
>>88684070
While this is based he basically condemned his own people. They didn't have time to prepare, though it wouldn't have done much.
>>88685049
Agreed it was very reckless, but I think he made the right choice.
>>88684138
I totally forgot we saw this guy early in the story.
Have you read city of darkness OP
>>88685074
Actually i'm the same, I didn't remember him when he appeared later.
Also I forgot to say it but if anyone's already read it try to avoid posting spoilers at least while i'm dumping the chapters. Thanks
>>88685095
I haven't, just made a quick google search. Is it the same artist? Art seems very similar
>>88685133
Not sure but it's the only other full colour Asian comic I've read.
Less fantasy and more gangsta though
>>88685157
I think it is, at least the faces look really similar. Seems cool, guess i'll bookmark it and give it a shot later
By the way, this series has a cartoon. Though I couldn't find it in english or subbed
>>88685716
Reminder that Tian means heaven
>>88683986
bump
>>88685829
You can feel his pain by looking at his eyes
>>88684899
I am! Go Op!
Well this is the last chapter
>>88683986
The artwork is great. I hope the story is fine too.
>>88686320
Well you can always read a bit and see if it interests you
>>88684171
>I really like chinese armors
Yeah, really interesting simple but functional design.
Feng Shen Ji is the shit. I picked up a few issues when I was in Hong Kong this year and still oogle at the art now and again.
Thanks for sharing. OP
>>88686419
That's great. How popular is it over there? from what I heard it's pretty well known but haven't been in HK myself.
And you're welcome, just trying to get some people interested in something different for a while, change pace a bit like I said.
>>88684347
Is that Red Hare's ancestor?
>>88686497
Do not pursue
>>88686485
not wanting to be a cute girl.
what even is this?
The End.
Just a warning for those that will read ahead, MC is a huge cunt at first and he'll easily make you hate him.
>>88686465
I couldn't answer that. Just spent a week there and Tokyo for a vacation. I literally found a stack of comics in a nighttime market and picked up about 2 dozen comics for what amounted to like $4.
I wish I could read them. There is probably a lot of hidden gems from Hong Kong that will never be localized. Their art style is really cool.
>>88684455
Chinese see the heaven/man relationship a little different too. It's an interesting story so far. What this emperor is suggesting is like a president deciding we need to ignore gravity, just madness and hard for a commoner to understand
>>88686570
That's cheap.
And yeah there's a lot of comics that never get translated, hell even if manga is a lot more popular than other stuff there's a lot of them that never get translated.
>>88686595
this is the origin of "it hurts" I think.
"whats your plan?"
punch god on the face.
Ok, then what?
Thats all I got. Im banging fire. and have a phoenix tied to my back. oh, and a prophecy saying I'm going to die. Seems ok though. BTW you should totes follow me. I mean, none of YOU have super powers from a divine beast. But, I'm sure youll all be ok after I die. which I know is going to happen.
>>88684899
I have a weakness for Chinese stories, though I can't stand the backwards reading, this is pretty great.
This comic has a cartoon, you won't understand shit but
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcGOXZ8x_N4
The opening's pretty catchy
>>88685417
That is pretty fucking cool.
>>88686948
Uncle is best boy
>>88686866
Too bad it's cgi. It may look ok but the characters are deep in the uncanny valley.
>>88687674
Eh youtube compression really fucks over CGI because it takes away textures from models
>>88684507
One punch!
Thanks for this OP, I'm reading the rest of it now.
read the entire series, it feels different than western storytelling, if you keep an open mind you'll enjoy it.
>>88689147
I think everyone on 4chan has read manga or watched anime(unless you're really really new) so it's not like we're not used to other kinds of storytelling. Even then FSJ reads like an old greek myth or of course chinese myths so it's not particularly weird either
>>88683986
Great read. I feel like I'm half my age again and discover manga for the first time.
>>88684023
>Well like I said it's a comic, its full color too.
So is manga, and full color manga exists, it still belongs to /a/.
Bumping for interest
>>88690506
Question for you or anyone else really: isn't this technically manhua? Not sure if anyone's up for it but it could be an interesting talk about the different manhua/manhwa/manga styles. And yeah, I know it's a pretty pedantic distinction but they are a bit different.
>>88686558
>MC is a huge cunt at first
Freaking this. At one point I actually considered dropping the manga.
>>88690506
It's literally called "Hong Kong Comics".
Also thay pic is old
>>88690855
>>88686558
So?, I read Shamo. He can't be worse.
>>88690659
And?, Manga are also Comics, they still belong to /a/.
>>88690506
Manga/Manhua/Manhwa are all comics. /a/ is for japanese manga and anime
>>88690659
Meant to quote:
>>88690889
>>88690895
He is. Less mean-spirited and more bratty tho.
The coloring honestly doesn't do the great inking any justice, save for the odd panel or two that looks entirely painted (which indeed looks nice).
Neat read regardless, any deicide is good decide
>>88690929
They belong on /a/ because the board is called /a/ - Anime & Manga
If we go by what you said every comic book should be allowed on /a/. China and Japan are not the same anon
>>88690659
Well based on what i have read manhua tend to have a strong wuxia influence.
As for Manwha they tend to have great art(Not counting webshti), and mediocre stories.
>>88690948
Did you even see the pic, Manhua and Manwha all belong to /a/, despite some anons complaining, there are regular threads about web Manwhas, and /a/ recommendation charts have a bunch of Manwha and Manhua on them.
>>88691044
And this board is called Comics and Cartoon, but we still don't discuss manga, anime, or that cartoon that shall no be named.
Also mod literally said Manhua and Manwha belong to /a/.
>>88691136
It was a /a/ mod. If a /co/ mod says it ok on /co/ then everyone is happy.
>>88691136
>but we still don't discuss manga, anime,
>>88691136
No doubt with the wuxia influences. I'll have to check those out. Lettuce be cereal, this is cool.
