What are everyone's overall impressions of the SIII manga?
I'm curious as to if they're as boring as the Suikoden 1 and 2 novels, although the short story volumes are good.

I love it, it shows scenes that arent in the game, and gives alot more info on the main story
for example= chapter 1 starts out with hugos birth, and shows you how he met fubar and how he earned fubars trust, another example is, we see when captain galahad and the second in command die, in chris's first battle
the suikoden 3 manga is awsome and it deffinetley is worth buying, deffinetley not boring as there is lots of new content and the story is s little different

The manga does an excellent job explaining the plot of Suikoden 3. It actually changes some of the plot, but the effect is that it makes more sense than the game itself. Aki Shimizu is definitley a good manga artist. The manga keeps getting rave reviews in Japan, and I havn't heared very many complaints in the US either. Of course, our very own HowlingGuild helps proof the translation, which can only mean it's good.

They included a portion where Caesar floods the Duck Village to stall the advance of the Harmonian military. It's interesting because Fumi Ishikawa once said in an interview before Suikoden 3 was released that, "The Duck Village will actually be flooded!" This never happened in the actual game which was somewhat odd. Perhaps they removed that portion from the game.
Other parts are how Luc removes the True Earth Rune from Sasarai while Sasarai is leading troops in Grassland, instead of back in Crystal Valley. Also, Franz joins after nearly being executed by the Harmonian army, rescued by Queen from a Harmonian camp.
There's many more original scenes in the manga.
Aki Shimizu is also a personal friend of Yoshitaka Murayama, so it woun't be surprising if she gets her ideas from Murayama himself.

Speaking of the Novels, does anyone have scans of the pics from the SIV Novel? All I've found thus far is a large pic of the cover with Lazlo and Snowe
