I introduce you to 666 Satan (a.k.a. O-Parts Hunter in more sucky, politically-correct countires). This is a series introduced in the Shonen Gangen Magazine, which is the Square-Enix equivalent of Shonen Jump. Pretty much, this is the series set to replace Fullmetal Alchemist in generating Anime/Manga money for Square-Enix so they can fund their new games that may or may not suck.

Anyways... It has already been announced that an Anime is already in production, and the manga series is in about 67 chapters so far in Japan. Oh... And if the artwork looks familiar, it's by Seishi Kishimoto, Little Twin Bro of Masashi Kishimoto, creator of Naruto, and they both have similar art styles (though in my opinion, seishi draws teens/adult better and his characters have better persona/character designs overall). Anyway, look upon the replacement for Fullmetal Alchemist and rejoice.

xD The only similarity is art style. I like Naruto is well, but I hated the fact that it had story arcs that would drag on and on, and Naruto had little to no actual chracter development happen onscreen except with Sasuke. 666 Satan is an epic manga/anime for a more mature audience, balancing story with characters.
 
there is nothing ninja to it to my knowledge
 
I thought it would be about ninjas as Naturo was ... This Ruby looks just like the young Bulma from DB series.

Ruby Crescent is an ordinary girl, who likes to go out with boys and shop. Her life is changed dramatically when her father dies and she becomes a treasure hunter as he was. Her objective is to find O-Parts: magical items hidden under the ground which grant people superhuman powers and can only be used by an O.P.T. (O-Part Tactician) or an Angel or Devil. She soon meets a mysterious boy named Jio who, due to having a dark, lonely past, seeks to conquer the world. Jio is hostile to her at first, but ends up traveling with Ruby as her bodyguard. When Ruby is attacked by an O.P.T. claiming to be Satan, Jio rushes to her rescue and a battle occurs. Initially they are on the losing side, but Jio releases his true power and is revealed to be not only an O.P.T., but the real Satan. Thus, the two continue to travel together in hopes of unlocking their pasts.

That's because Seishi was influenced by Dragonball/Dragonball Z as a kid. I don't really see that as a weakness in the material, as long as the characters don't grow bulbous muscles, saving the universe from destruction, gathering some animal's balls and shouting Kame-ha-meha! I think Ruby is merely an Homage to Bulma.
 
I never said there was anything wrong with it did I?
I was simply saying she looks alot like Bulma.
Will I get it? No, not a fan of Naturo and I just dont like the design of the main male character. Doesnt seem to professional. Looks like a fan desgined it IMO.
 
lol star lupine has studied this mange you will never get him like that
and the maker and narutos maked are brothers which is why their art looks similar

And the only reason you say it looks like a fan-designed manga is because it looks like Naruto's Art Style. Get into the story and you'd like it. Naruto is retarded in comparison.

No, that was not what I mean at all. Look at the lead characters hair for instance, it just doesnt strike me as professional, but something a fan created instead. The whole black contrasting white is so cliche and it just looks tacky.

Everything about the character, Jio, is a play on Yin and Yang. And thus, his clothing reflects it. It's odd, I admit I don't like that fashion-sense either, but Jio looks far better suited to it after he's a teenager.
 
yea and sapphire star lupine has the manga and has been reading the translate ones as well to my knowledge so he would know too much for you to say that it is not good inless it really isn't good

I dont recall it being a contest on who knows how much, so drop that attitude now. Ive read the first volume and Im not enjoying it. Its not my cup of tea. Everyone has their opinion, just because your Lupine says its good, doesnt mean it is.
 
It's good to pretty much everyone who reads it and gives it a chance. The characters have superb development throughout the story. As for the characters not 'looking professional' I dunno how to excuse that... All I know is the creator IS a professional artist, as he was comissioned by Enix (now Square-Enix) to make this manga, and, before that, he was comissioned to do a manga of Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven. I guess the only excuse I have is, he's not that great at drawing children, which are like, most of the cast at the beginning. The art does get LOADS better.
