I wonder how Doug would handle the world of Hunter X Hunter.
It's basically a world that's like ours, only very different. Though it has airplanes, the internet, telephones and what-all, it also has pirate ships and most importantly the magical, martial art "Nen" ability.
It's a world of cheap lives and child killings and killer children.
gon, our hero, is a simple kid who decides to become a Hunter, a supra-legal "hunter" of anything, from rare food to criminals, inspired by his absent father. He meets up with various companions and a dangerous enemy in the brutal Hunter test, a test designed to kill.
There's Kurapica, who is after revenge against a group of robbers who killed his people for their eyes, and Killua, a child of assassins who didn't want to be one himself but doesn't mind casually murdering people who annoy him.
It's a fun series by the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho and the husband of Naoko Takeuchi.

The storyline that OAV2/Volume 13-15 is on is the Greed Island storyline, wherein Gon and Killua are "inside" a video game that Gon's father designed, where they are transported to an island that is modelled on rpg games. If you die in there, you die for real, your body transported back to the "real" world.
I think that Doug, regardless of if he is in the greed island storyline or not, would be both intruiged and horrified by this world that has such a harsh philosophy. I'm sure that he'd try to "reform" Killua and maybe even Kurapica, but how successful he might be, I don't know.

That's another one I'm not familiar with. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the pointer, Murmur.

I can't recall the adress, but the website known as "Toriyama's World" has scanslations of the manga, I beleive. Hikaru no Go, Black Cat, Bremen, and several others I don't rememnber specifically also. It should be googleable.
