King of Thorn, or maybe King of Awesome

Yeah, putting aside that the introduction above was put in automatically by Tokyopop this is just something I wrote off the spot.
Either case, I tripped across this manga while searching through stuff at Outland, one of Norway's only real manga/anime stores (though not dedicated to such, sadly). And I gotta give it to you: I love it.
Despite a lot of the manga being obvious from the start, there's still a heavy shroud of mystery left unexplained, and I just love the confusion and world's growth as we read from page to page about a quickly out-of-control spinning story.
You can put that aside, however, and just drool at the awesomely well done art, which remains a fine and high quality throughout the entire series so far. God, I just love that.
The story is fairly plane. It kinda reminds me of Lost, but thankfully it is different as well. It doesn't try to stay so realistic and absurd at the same time. Here it's all fictional absurdness wrapped in a big pack of awesome.
My only complaint is that I'm still trying to get my hands on the 4th volume. And that Tokyopop had to be such an bottom and log me out while I was writing!
