If you enjoy fantasy quest stories then these two are for you, especially if you prefer manga that has flown "under the radar." CLAMP may be as popular as can be, but most people have missed their debut fantasy title, RG Veda. Which, by the way, is totally worth checking out. Also, many people have played the Suikoden game series but how many have read the more than excellent manga. Here are two manga series I swear any fantasy fan would enjoy.

Both are absolutely FANTASTIC masterpieces based off of video game titles. They feature great art, story, and back-info for those who have played the games in either cases. I HIGHLY reccomend Suikoden III and Tales of Innocence for the RPG-manga-reader in us all~

Both are derived from the same Chinese classic, even if Akaboshi retains far more story elements from the original compared to Gensou (aka "illusion"). Check 'em out.

They're both 11 volumes long. They were both licensed by Tokyopop. They are now both OOP. They are both owned by Aion. (This makes Aion happy.) Also, they're both war epics heavy on main character growth. After seeing loved ones die and - in the case of ToT - raped, the two respective leads experience the hardships of war first-hand; killing in order to survive and eventually becoming leaders. ToT is the more realistic of the two because, where as SIII is an adaptation of a JRPG, ToT depicts the Mongolian invasion of Korea and all of the 'spoils of war' taking / raping / slaughtering that occurred  read more
