Okay , i have lurked around TL long enough and never even heard a mention of this manga.
Author(s) Son Jae Ho
Artist(s) Lee Gwang Su
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/noblesse/
Summary - He awakens. For 820 years he has slumbered with no knowledge of mankind's advancements and scientific achievments. The land which he once knew has become an unfamiliar place with new technologies, attitudes, and lifestyles.
Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, Rai, while seeking to familiarize himself with this era, somehow locates a loyal servant of his, Frankenstein, who is currently the principal of a South Korean high school. Rai decides that this high school would be the perfect place to help him learn about the new world. He enrolls, and suddenly becomes the friend of Shinwoo, an immature teenager who is also a master martial artist. But this new world is no safer than the old, and the dignified, bewildered, technologically illiterate Rai finds himself caught up in adventures both ridiculous and dangerous.
What got me hooked - Starts off as a light hearted comedy and then turns into a really thrilling action adventure ride with a very good plot .. and the two main characters are giant badasses.

The recent arc has come to a conclusion + Show Spoiler +with Rai finding the message left to him by the previous lord.
The story is simple, and easy to follow but there are a lot of hints still unresolved.
It's a fun story, art is good and it's in FULL color. more people should start reading this manga.

Noblesse is actually one of the best mangas out there in my opinion. I usually cannot stand manga's because the stories are extremely predictable and they are filled with tons of bullshit that makes them unbearable. But noblesse generally has none of that shit. I agree with the op that it has light hearted comedy but it is also one of few mangas where the secondary characters have more development than the main character (really it seems as if Rai has not changed at all since awakening). It is also set in a badass world where everything from genetically engineered humans to vampires with badass weapons exist.

I never realized anyone ever made a teamliquid post about this manga. I like this just as much as one piece and bleach actually a lot more because stuff actually happens! Next arc will get good. And maybe we will get some incite on why being noblesse sucks.
|
too bad the recent arcs have mostly ignored the kids. like that red headed one and the glasses one (who's names i can't remember because IT'S BEEN THAT LONG)
|
I agree with pretty much everything said so far.
A good manga (not that I read a lot of them really lol) that still has a long ways to go, since a lot of stuff is still unresolved like johann said. It may start off a little slow, but then picks up quickly. I remember staying up till four in the morning to get caught up to where it currently was, even with work the next day.
Also, +1 for the main characters being completely badass.
My only complaint is the powers are somewhat cliche in some cases, but if that is it I can live with it lol. It didn't really take off in the direction I wanted, and I think that is really cool. I'd recommend reading it as well

This manga (manhwa?) is so sick. oo~~~
|
another draw is the characterization, particularly in relation to Frankenstein.
+ Show Spoiler +turns out he's a Human, that has through experimentation gained power equal to that of a Noble clan leader, yet he still acts cocky, humble, caring, selfless, and selfish, sometimes all at the same time.
IMO he's a pretty great character, and one of the great draws to read this series.
plus, he's bishie.
Edit: and, somehow for a series to have a main character that almost never speaks and still end up this interesting is a pretty great achievement.
Also, KAAAAAAAWAIIIIIIrice!!!!!!

loving this manga
particularily Frankenstein is what seals the deal. His personality somewhat draws me in to read more. Can't wait to see how it develops im tempted to look at some of the raws from the authors page which is free to read

its not manga!!!!!!!! its a webtoons or manhwa which is completely different from manga.... 'Oh hey, i heard spiderman is a pretty cool manga by marvel' yeah, it hurts that much.
there are several good webtoons lying around but you guy are not accessible due to language barrier T_T
|
sounds like this book written by phillip jose farmer called the stone god awakens (at least in your brief description in the OP). cool
|
I've been reading the manga for the past hour or so.
I really like the strange humor, let me edit this once I finish the manga.
EDIT: finished, it's awesome! can't spoiler anything though so all i can say is that you should read this.
|
I love the art in this series; everything always looks so cool. I wonder if the SC2 player Noblesse got his name from this manhwa?

See you in a week =) hehe.
There's 196 chapters. (well at least 3 days)
Hope after this arc is done we can get to see more of the modified humans with the professor whatshisname and the shadow council and all that.
It has been months since we last saw them.

He did. I remember this came up when Doa and Moletrap were casting. They talked about the origin of the word and Moletrap (I think) said that he asked Noblesse and he replied saying "Noblesse.. Manhwa."
I really like this manhwa as well. The art reminds me of Bleach a bit.

Yeah I love this manhwa, really good. The storyline and the art is great, the characters are nice, not too easy to read, and the main character is really interesting (he says almost nothing).
|
Just read the whole thing in about 8 hours haha. I'm a big anime fan, but this was the first time I've ever read a manga (or manhwa, or whatever), but I have to say it's a lot more gripping than I thought it would be.

Oh man, I just picked this up because of the thread, and I find it incredible! :p Loved the art. Story is great. Very funny too.
