Dark Air

latest release :

chap 72

http://mngcow.co/Dark-Air/72/2/

I wish the character motivations and battle mechanics had more logic to them. The character motivations, and even the entire driving point of the plot, isn't well thought out. It would also be nice if magic, or "blue air" was explained more. What is the difference between magic, healing techniques that use "holy power," or an archer's techniques that can somehow summon a spirit attack? How can a musician use buffs if it's not using some form of magic? These concepts aren't explained at all.

The main plot is about equality and how it is unfair for magicians to hold so much power. That, "anyone" can learn swordsmanship or other techniques, but only mages are the select few who truly hold power. However, the series so far has disproven that quite clearly. The average joe is extremely weak. The strong are strong, even if they don't use magic. And the people who can become strong are very few, select people with talent like Steve Vai or Melrose.

Even one of the greatest magicians in the series would easily die in a fight with a master swordsman. Magicians are support, or good for tactical military campaigns. It doesn't make sense for people to hold magic in such high regard, or it "dominating" despite the exact opposite being shown in terms of feats and abilities. The only exception so far is Zappa, but that's through the use of a forbidden tool.

I like the artwork and some of the music references a lot, I just wish the internal logic of the series made more sense.

why isn't it being updated on batoto?

It would seem EG Scans dropped the series and the only group which I can still find working on it is mangacow. Since mangacow stuff is never uploaded on batoto, I'd say it will stay like this for a while.

Hmm ... I'm confused about this series. Is it discontinued or not? I found the magazine it serializes in, and apparently it's still ongoing. Last spoilers I saw for it were for chapter 70 back in May or June of this year, but I'm not sure if it's still serializing or if it's completed. (Similar situation for Cavalier of the Abyss, which serializes in the same magazine.)

I found what I believe to be the author's website, but he hasn't posted anything Dark Air-related in a little less than a year, and his most recent post features a new series.

From the 52-58 raws and some of the spoilers I saw, this is what I gathered (in case we never see Dark Air completely scanlated):

and the translation was picked up again by Mangacow

hmm.. really, i thought i saw some raw at chapter 54.

It goes to volume 8 before Baka-updates just lists it as "Ongoing" but according to most sources it has been discontinued with Volume 8 being the last.

"Mmm, Dark Air hasn't been updated in a while, lets check what's going on"
