So often is it asked, 'where are all the masculine, HnG-like manga?' to which I do, now, reply: Here!
This is the first chapter of a newly serialized manga which is beginning in this week's issue of Weekly Shounen Champion. I implore you - yes, you, reader - whoever you may be, to scanlate this. My hands, alack! are already tied to another project.
The setting, as described by this first page: >Long ago... when the world was still but one continent, the blue-eyed jades and the black-eyed obsidians fought to the death over reign of the world.
The Jade country is "Diva", the Obsidian country is "Daion".
This is a partial translation: I've translated the lines which I think are necessary for a reader to understand what is happening. The rest, I leave to the eventual scanlators for I demand they do come.
The Obsidian side refers to the Jade side as "kingfishers"; the Jade side calls the Obsidian side "crows". After a great war spanning 30 years, finally, the end came.
"Let yourselves be carried away as far as may be in this but a moment's glory." "Soon, it shall be in deed repaid." "You think you can fight us, go ahead, old woman!" "...I know..." "That he does yet live."
(screaming as they descend into the flames) "GWAAHHHH! YOU CROWS! SEKIRAN-SAMA *SHALL* RETURN!" "WHEN THAT TIME COMES, THE ONES THROWN UNTO THE HEARTH..." "WILL BE YOU, THE DAIOON! YOOOOUUUU!!!"
"Hehe. Forget about the kid and let's have some fu~un." "Where's your husband?" "The men from here are there, aren't they? The frozen-over sword arena." "Is it really okay for you girls to be having all this fun while your husbands are fighting to the death?" "Fuck, I'm glad I wasn't born a Jade."
>So often is it asked, 'where are all the masculine, HnG-like manga? Is the Souten no Ken sequel that Tetsuo Hara is working on serializing right now? No scanlations of course.
This sounds interesting though, will lurk in the thread.

"Gyahaha! These sword fights are the best!" "GLADIATORS!!! Keep killing! More! More!"
"This Tower of Babel performance is unbelievable!" "You'd never think he'd be stacking up the meat of his own to reach the meat up there!" "What a fucking repulsive blue-eyed monster! Byahahaha!"
The imperial city, 2 years ago. Enryuu speaks. "...therefore, Emperor Enryuu hereby does declare:" "With this year as its genesis: once in every two years," "From this wide earth shall splendid gladiators be gathered,"
"And shall they fight ten elimination battles." "Thus will the "ten purgatories of the world" be carried out." "Th- that means... a battle to determine the greatest of the gladiators, doesn't it!!?"
"I see you two are familiar with sword-fighting, so I wanna ask." "Heard a lot about a buncha exciting gladiators here lately." "The strongest gladiator," "That's that pig there?"
"What is one-eye doing!? He finally gets out here, now he's stepping on his sword; is he not gonna fight!?" "Dunno if he's a famous gladiator or what, but..." "Is he makin' fun of us!?" "...Retard." "You wanna die? Chill the fuck out."
"He wiped out 8 other gladiators in an instant..." "What... what just happened...!?" "Sayabashiri." "Battoujutsu's "nukiuchi". In place of a scabbard, he used his leg and built up power from the pressure and friction," "And drew and swung in an instant by using the force from releasing it. "
"That's fine." "Despair turns death..." "Into salvation." "But, for guys like us who've lost even despair, "There is no salvation." "That's why we can keep surviving." "That's why we're counted on."
"I sure as hell knew you weren't dead, but..." "Didn't think you'd be coming to take the title of king..." "The next "Shaba" can't wait," "Can he, Sekiran?"
End chapter.
Well? Any interested investors? I'll give you boys some time to consider.
