Official Site Update

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Just FYI, but the Official Code Geass website has updated.

Nothing about the new Gaiden, as far as I can tell (They aren't exactly chatty on that, are they?), but there's a brief thing about that Tales of Graces game with the Geass costumes, and the Renya manga now has it's own page, with descriptions of the main characters, and summaries of the first four chapters. And pictures and stuff.

Looks like Code Geass: Renya of Darkness might be the official English version of it's title.

aka silent trolling you mean.

It's about time they did that much.

And well, at least Renya of (the) Darkness does sound better than Renya of the Blackness.

As for the actual manga...it's admittedly too early to pass judgment on the overall product, but the currently available chapters have been something of a mixed bag so far. The premise is still being set up and, without spoiling anything in particular, the would-be antagonist has just been formally introduced.

The whole thing does feel like more or less the Code Geass equivalent of Bleach or Naruto. That's not necessarily a bad thing, I guess, but for now it's definitely trying to tell a more traditional kind of "shounen fighting" story than anything else.
