SynopsisThe story set in the contemporary South Korea. Some 30 years ago, unidentified creatures appeared out of nowhere and have attacked people. They have caused massive destruction wherever they go. The monsters are called "Trouble", and get the world have fallen into chaos. Along with the first appearance of the "Troubles", some number of humans were born with or acquired supernatural abilities. These mutants called "Trace" are the only ones who can fight off the "Trouble". The "Trace" are also considered freaks and generally shunned by the community because some of them misused the powers for their own interest.
The plot revolves around two main characters. Sah Gang-kwon, a high school student born as a "Trace" who attempts to hide his ability. The other is Kim Yun-Seong, who acquired his "Trace" abilities during his early 30s. Soon after the acquision, his wife and daughter were taken away from him for experimental purposes.

When I first started reading Trace, it looked like an American comic with villains and superheroes of sorts. It didn't seem original at all, but the art was pretty and it updated each day, which is why I kept reading it.
But as I read more and more, I got sucked in. This is that type of a comic that leaves you wanting for more with each chapter. And you find yourself cursing after each cliffhanger.
When I read trough Rose arc I was astonished. It was so intense and deep that I cried the whole day after reading the last chapter of this arc. And that's when Trace got into my Top 5.
It combines comedy [and even parody, with many references], action [amazing fighting scenes], fantasy [some unique and some not so unique abilities], romance, angst, even tragedy, perfectly. Characters are detailed, from their abilities, flaws and perfections, to their outer appearance.
So, this manhwa has everything you can possibly ask for. I recommend it to any guy or girl, 13 or 30 years old, and I'm sure you won't regret it. read more

When i first started reading trace i thought it would have the same story of good vs bad , the only reason that got me to read it was because of the art .
the story revolves about these trace's that appeared mysteriously , along side with them appeared trouble's , Trace's fight Trouble's , Trouble's are the bad guys here but in the same time The society shuts out Trace's as well , they are freaks to them and shouldn't even be allowed to live beside normal human's , they even have their own schools and regulations , The story is about two main characters not just one , the first half of the story is about Ghang Gwon Sa and the second is about Yun Seong Kim , the two halves are very connected later on in the story .
Art : if i had to say anything about the art i would say AMAZING , i loved every bit of it , the art is truly beautiful .
Characters : every character gets it's own turn in this manhwa , the character development is amazing that i ended up loving each and every one .
over al i must give this manhwa a 10 due to it's great plot line , twists and art , i never really get influenced by stories that easily but this one reached a soft spot in my heart so much that when i reached the rose arc i felt like i was breaking a part , oh and one last thing although it may seem that this is one of these episodic stories where good fights evil until a plot appear i have to disagree it had a plot from the very start and as the story develops the plot gets darker and more serious and it gets even more enjoyable at the same time read more

In both GANTZ and Trace, there are people who are chosen to protect society even though the truth about them always seems to be hidden. Also, in both manga, there are different groups who are fighting amongst each other until an enemy comes that is powerful enough to make them realize their mistakes and unite to defeat a common enemy. Although the people in GANTZ don't have powers like those in trace, they are equipped with futuristic weapons and suits that give them the ability to combat the enemy.

both of them are korean and coloured.the action and setting is also the same (supernatural, humans with super powers, people forming teams and friendships).
if you love action, shounen, comedy, supernatural genres manga/manhwa i promise you, you will also love this work of art
