I haven't read much manga so I'm not sure how this compares. However, I must say I LOVED this book! It helps that I'm a fan of MMORPGs and enjoy lighthearted jabs at fellow gaming geeks. As an online gamer who has spent many an hour playing FFXI and WoW, the humor in Legend of the Twilight really hit home. The world of "The World" is all too real to me.

Welcome to the world, the most advanced online game ever created... A good Manga, though not one of the best.

This story follows the adventures of a brother and sister in the fictional MMORPG "The World". The plot seems fairly simple (so far), but hints are dropped that events in the game have real-world implications.

The story is interesting, but where it really shines is in the many, many "inside" jokes about online gaming and the people that play them. If you've never played an online RPG, you may not catch some of the jokes.

Thumbs up for a manga that's a lot of fun and sports some pretty good artwork, as well.
