Hey, I made this thread to talk about my idea for a manga! It's called "Savior", and is about a strange man who wanders around and helps people who are in trouble, whether it be someone who is about to commit suicide, or someone about to get beat up. However, there is an antithesis to Savior, one whose goal is to kill people he deems unworthy of life. They both have one similar goal, but the two enigmas have different paths they must take to reach them. What are their goals? You'll just have to find out if I ever make the d**n thing.
Please tell me if this plotline has been done before in some other form of literature or entertainment....
What I am working on now: 1. Character designs. 2. Basic storyline.
CRITICISM, anyone? ;D

Sounds like the Dead Zone or that new show on Fox about the woman who can travel back in time one day to save lives only with an anti hero...so slightly, but not totally, original.

Well these people aren't exactly dead and the guy doesn't always prevent death as the main theme.

Can you say Trigun? Save one for the good of everything or kill one for the good of everything, that whole dilemna thing.

I'd love to help you writing the thing, cause I can't draw which holds me back from practically everything that I do, spare, well, writing.

Man, I've been waiting for this type of thread to appear, because it's cool to see what ideas people have in mind. The idea sounds good, and forget that d**n Trigun. Do what you want. And if it's possible I could help with character designs... I draw so much... I suck at computer drawing, but with pencil/pen art, I'm d**n good. Whenever I can I'll scan a picture that I drew to prove it.
If what I said above was pointless, it's just that I like to help out.
EDIT: For help with drawing I meant character designs.

I sorta prefer dark world stuff. LotR (not as severe, but I still view it as such) , Berserk, Trigun I sorta found amusing (there just wasn't that big tragedy that you could feel, ya know?) , there was the Death Gate Cycle, which I have yet to finish . . . (Dragon Wing, Elven Star, and I forget the 3rd book. Thanks to Elven Star, I stopped reading the series, but I enjoyed the other two. Sure, there were 4 more books, but still.)
I say reverse the roles. Make it seen as the one that kills being the bad guy, if you really want to use that plot.

Anyone who's good at drawing can do this,and if he got in his head that he want to do a manga that most mean he can do it.
Urghh...I hate those stupid school comps,so slow,colors are ugly and all...ARRGGHH!!
