From Dark Horse:
From the desert wastelands emerge two mysterious warriors, master wizard Yarong and his faithful servant Batu. On a grave mission from their king, they have yet to realize the whirlwind of political movements and secret plots which will soon engulf them and change their lives forever. When Yarong is mortally injured, Batu must fulfill a secret promise to leave Yarong's side and protect his master's child. As Batu seeks to find and hide the infant, Yarong reveals another secret to those who have tracked him down to finish him off--the deadly, hidden power of a Shaman Warrior!
* One of the best-selling manhwa epics of all time, Shaman Warrior recently won the Korean Culture & Content Agency's 2006 "Best Manhwa of the Year" award!
i think one of the manga that deceived me the most. Ok like every one's say i found that a great serie, so much that i buy all the book, but the end! THE END !!! God how can a end like that be done, it completely destroyed all the effort that was put before. Sériously when i finish reading this, i was thiking only one thing :" why did i read that ? " Not " oh that was a good story " or " what a shitty ending ". NO only " why did i read that ? ". Because at the end nothing and i say NOTHING is acomplished, all the story, all those nine volume of adventure are reduced to NOTHING by this ending alone,there is no accomplishment.
i put 1 because that manwa is not worth more. However great could have been the story if the end dont follow then you will feel deceived and Dangoo had the worts end i ever seen ( realy ), not because it's bad, but because it make the story useless.
If you still love this story stop arround volume 8 and never look at the end, just imagine one, it could only be better...
Absolutely fantastic art, compelling characters, nice raw story built around poverty, cruelty, clan loyalties and shamanism. I look forward to Dangu releases more than I do all but a handful of series ...
(couple years later) A pity we never got to see this scanlated to the end. I'll settle my rating at 8 ... what I saw, I liked a lot.
I do agree with Blaha that the plot lack of something...like inner motivation of characters aside from just matter of clan, revenge blah blah...(in my opinion the same goes for Blade of the Immortal) in this case both Vagabond is a lot better. I'm giving 8, becouse I've red better manga/manhwa, but in Dangu art is amazing!Ijust fell in love^^when i saw those drawings.Have PARK Joong-Gi draw any other manhwa?mmm.. I'm puting him in one line with Samura Hiroaki and Inoue Takehiko - my idols
its pretty good actually..and it's not only just about the girl, there some other interesting main characters too..like Nwejo, Baku, Yatilla..the story of the girl(Yaki) seriously started around v04 so before that its mostly about his father and his faithful sevant Baku..
plus the illustrations are quite impressive as were the fight scenes..
i cant wait for the next release though, i'm too eager to know how the story will unfold..
Hmm...I dont know what to expect action wise from a child...and a girl..im not sexist, but most of the best action in manga/anime ARE from male characters...or atleast the ones that seem to be popular..I'll wait and read Volume 2 and see if I want to continue...it's hard enough finding a place to read them
this is probably one of the only historically based mangas, aside from blade of immortal, that can maintain a very realistic style and keep me attentive. Definently worth a read if you are an action fan and looking for something more epic and serious then your usual shonen manga. Yaki (the female lead) is powerful and cunning, and honestly, one of my favorite female leads from a shonen/seinen series.
If you're looking for an action manhwa with brilliant fights and a degree of philosophical depth, then you'll love Dangu. The plot is a tad more complex than your average wham-bam story, with a bit of politics and betrayal thrown in for flavor. The characters' reflections on being outcasts and renegades are also enjoyable.
What really makes this manhwa, though? Is the art. It's simply some of the best art out there. Kinetic and fast-paced and beautifully textured. Makes me want to run my fingers over it.
