Is anyone else currently reading this? It's pretty awesome so far (about 7 volumes in). The story is a manga take on the Arabian 1001 tales with the main character being Aladin. The characters are likeable and the story is pretty good. I definitely recommend it to people who likes old school shounen.

I've been reading this. It's pretty standard shonen with an Arabian twist. None of the protagonists are really annoying, but they aren't particularly more interesting than in other stories, too.
