This is my favorite manga of all time! Any others here know of this wonderful yet underappreciated manga? And if so who's your favorite character? Mine would be Nentou though I guess you could already figured that out by now. ;D

I have no clue what you're talking about, which supports your "underappreciated" point. +^^+;; What is Houshin Engi about?

Let's see how much I remember from 5 years ago, Houshin engi is one of the great Chinese novels, Gensomaden Saiyuki, and Genso Suikoden are 2 of the others, it follows this guy named Taikoubou who's a senin, or training to be one, or something. At first he was sent down to earth for some reason that I forget, something to do with Dakki maybe. He ends up running into a bunch of other senin and a few humans. Eventually, the storyline gets around to Taikoubou and the rest of the senin on mount Konron was it fighting an all out war with this other mountain filled with youkai I think. And that's the first arc. I forgot to mention that senin are special humans that are sent to mount Konron to train their abilities or something. They can use special weapons and I forgot what they're called. And Dakki is this women who took over the government or kingdom or whatever of the humans and she's trying to run it into the ground. I never was able to get proper scanlations for most of the manga after that and I'm a bit sketchy on it since it has been like 5 years, I just know that I got into Houshin Engi and all my other friends got into Fushigi Yugi, and then 2 years later they finally came around and realized FY sucks and HE is a hell of a lot better, I was laughing at them at that time. Oh and I liked Youzen, Bunchuu, and Kihatsu's brother......Kihakuyuko...I think it was....

OK. That sounds like it could be interesting.

Well y'know degree-anime has the whole thing scanlated and you can look at it for free as loong as you sign up. Yeah you have the basic jist of the Houshin storylines but I have the scanlations on my computer so I believe I could give a better summary. Okay so it starts out with Taikoubou who is an inexperianced sennin. He's given the task of carrying out the Houshin plan, which at the beginning is to kill all the evil youkai sennin on the Earth, Dakki being the boss. But it turns out that the Sennin world was hiding the true intentions of the Houshin project which I won't spoil here. But yeah the first part is Taikoubou realizing he can't do it alone and sets out to find allies. Then the main villains start attacking like Choukoumei and Bunchuu. Eventually the Great Sennin War starts (which is the best part by the way) and almost all of the Sennin world gets killed off. Then it goes back to the human world where they finish the human's war and then goes into the final part which you won't understand if you don't read the manga. Oh and everyone has these things called paopei which absorb the user's energy to make specific attack and abilities which are different from each other. That's one of main reasons I like Houshin is because the uniqueness of the weopons. Where else are you going to see a pair of hedgeclippers that kick ass?

Yeah, now try pulling that information out of a file cabinet in the back of your brain that's been locked up since 2001 and I'm too lazy to read manga unless I can download it, and I'm too lazy to download manga if it's not in batch form, downloading each individual chapter would kill me....

You don't need to download it from the site I said. You just go there and read it cause it's on the website itself.

They're giant hedgeclippers that send out huge and powerful dragon to attack. It's like the most unique weapon ever!
