Noblesse

alternative title: Good Job~ Good Job~ (joke from the latest chapter)



Title: Noblesse (just found out that it's a web comic)
Author/Artist: Son Jae-Ho/Lee Gwang-Su
Summary (via mangaupdates.com):
A vampire wakes up from a 820 year slumber in contemporary South Korea. As the being adapts to his surroundings, he accidentally enrolls at a school...

My take:
thanks kenn for the format inspiration~

It's about vampires.
With a lot of typical elements of vampire stories: the crazy power and not to mention good looking vampire, the faithful servant, the mysterious organization, the crazy researcher etc etc.
However, Noblesse compiles all the typical elements into something much MUCH better. It pieces them together into fluid fighting scenes, interesting enough background story, pretty FULL COLOURED drawings, and no annoying/wimpy/backbone-less characters ;D
Rai is also completely adorably clueless about modern life <3
All in all, a good light hearted read.

There are a lot of Korean webcomics out there. I stayed away from it because it had 'vampire' in it, but I guess I should take a looksie at it. ;D I'm inspiring all sorts of manga posts.
