I guess they stripped off the classic elements and replaced it with the wifi stuff and quests. At least treasure maps are present. They remind me of DQM2.

I read this manga series when it first came out a long time ago and thought it was awesome. Yes, Pop is one of the best characters to come out of Shounen manga ever. Some of the new techniques drew up in the manga I’d love to see implemented in a DQ game.

This manga (and not any other) gave the skills and jobs present in DQ a lot of character. It sucks that DQ9 doesn’t have a yuusha class. They really stripped down some of the classic DQ elements (casino, fashion shows, recruiting monsters, confusing dungeons, interactive characters) in favor of new ones (visual enemies, network play, quests). Not that I’m complaining of course.

I have the TW version of that manga. It follows the Dragon Quest Monsters storyline, and DQM happens to be one of my all-time favourite games.

I didn’t read this, but I did read a Dragon Quest sidestory called Dragon Quest Monsters+. It’s like Dragon Quest, just that the main character fights alongside monsters. Chuang Yi did release it.

If you’re lucky, you might still be able to pick it up in one of those dirt cheap bazaar sales. Best thing about it, it’s only 5 volumes long. Well… I thought it was quite a good shounen manga, at least.

I didn’t realize until well over last year that the guy behind that sidestory was actually Mine Yoshizaki, most famous for Keroro Gunsou.

I only read the later part of this manga during my secondary school days.
I like the story and the mage.
I trying to find the whole complete manga set too.
Bring back my memories during those days. ^.^
