The plot is very thick and as for the art work,beautiful! You don't have to play the RPG to get the plot, its entirely changed except for minor details.

Actually, there are four games in the Suikoden series, and I have to say I disagree with you about the series having a weak story, especially with what I consider the masterpiece that is Suikoden II's storyline. Suikoden II is a masterpiece of an RPG, right up there with Final Fantasy VI and Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu II). Just my opinion, though.

I enjoyed that one fairly well, but nowhere near as much as the first two. And I'm bitter that they mostly abandoned the idea of bringing in characters from previous games. That was one of the coolest aspects between 1 & 2...finding out what some of my fave characters had been up to. Still, S3's storyline had enough meat to it that a manga sounds pretty cool.
