I have recently bought this manga. It is one (in my thoughts) of the best mangas i have read in a while. the 1st shot takes place in The infamous city of thieves which rumor has it was built around a life-sized jewel called �The Double Mermaid'. and of course the main character Jing and his companion Kir (a small bird that has a nag for any cute female thing that moves) are seeking this rare treasure. But to get to it they must climb to the top of a light house. but many people have tried but failed to climb it and it cost them their lives. the reason Because of Cognac a ruthless man that stops everyone that trys to climb his light house and steal �The Double Mermaid'. How will Jing and Kir Make it to the top alive? find out in 'Jing : King Of Bandits' part 1!

I love this manga as well. Have you read the second series Twilight tales?

i saw i think the first 13 or so eps. (prolly all they ever made) and i did't like it too much. it seemed interesting but then i realized it never got deep. every episode was standalone. and in my mind i was hoping that he wasn't just wandering around, he was trying to get to someplace and all those episodes were just on the way to a greater search. but it never got to that point so to me it was probably just all fillers and didn't care for it much.

I've watched the anime and I think I fell in love with Jing. <3 Jokingness aside, it's a really good anime. I think the art is pretty well done and the english dub doesn't suck (=O) So yeah. The ending was very sweet and the OVA was also very well done. It's pretty confusing at sometimes but I think if you think deeply into it, you'll get it.
