SOLVED. Manga read around 2000. May have been called “Dark War”. Volume 1 had kind of a violet cover with a man in a black turtleneck shirt holding a large sword, a scar over his nose staring out of the page, in a crouched ready to fight stance. Dystopian.

I’m not sure i remember the plot but I think the story was kind of a dark urban fantasy fantasy where the main character is a young adult man who I was maybe sent from another dimension into this one. He has amnesia and this universe is a post apocalyptic dystopia where he and some others are on the run from government group or evil empire. A fairy from his original world finds him and tells him he needs to come back and save that universe, but he says he’s going to stay here and not leave his friends.

(view spoiler)[Then, his girlfriend gets killed and the fairy possess her body, without the guy knowing and manipulates him into fighting. (hide spoiler)]

Like I said, I read it in about 2000. It’s a paperback manga. I think this was volume 1. Sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks

Not all elements fit, but the "Dark Angel" series

No, not "Berserk" or "Dark Angel".

I do love Berserk though. No this was SciFantasy that took place in I guess the near future of 20XX or something. In a modern city.

"Dark War" by M.J. Ko and S.H. Jeung? It doesn't appear to be on goodreads (and I'm not sure if it can be added - as comic books without ISBNs shouldn't be) but here's one amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Komics-Dr...

Hey! That's it. So it was called Dark War. Don't know how I couldn't find it anywhere and I know I searched Amazon. Thanks so much!
