With a title like Dark Mage you may expect this manga to be about a cutesy little black mage who runs around saving people with his fireball and thunder spells. At least that is what I thought, but I was so very wrong. Dark Mage is a Korean manhwa based off of a Korean novel. It takes place in a dark fantasy world that reminds me of Berserk. The protagonist is not handsome, nor funny. Actually he is hated by almost everyone. He was born a hunchback and is constantly viewed as a monster in the eyes of strangers. Because of this he has hadto learn to defend himself physically and emotionally.

If his luck wasn't bad enough, one day he gets dragged into a portal and is teleported into a new world where a whole new journey begins...

Unfortunately this series has been canceled, but I still think it is worth reading what little has been released. Enjoy!
