Sometimes I wonder if mangaka get ideas by throwing something heavy at a bookshelf and mixing together whatever falls off. "A copy of the Bible, books on Croatia and Mexico, and a little sea turtle keychain...? Eureka! I've got it!" Like the low-tech version of a Plot Generator.
Uh, not that there's anything wrong with that method. XD
Why wasn't this around when I was stuck in religion classes?
Ah, so you'd know where to find the manga lnhammer and I want to read--the story of how Jesus and his disciples used mecha to fight the Roman Empire.
I mean, the standard setup for a manga is already there: Jesus as the noble mecha pilot, Judas as his angsty second in command. It's so obvious that surely someone's done it already.
Or they will. And when they do, we want to read it. :-)
Ha! Here I was, just about to sit down and do some proper work, and now I'll probably spend the rest of the morning scratching my head and muttering "Mexican???".
Actually it's pretty interesting to see Christian mythology used as just another source by writers looking for crackstory material.
