It's cute, it's action-packed, and it involves third-person shooting! We never expected to see a manga-inspired TPS in our lifetime, but the formula certainly works. In fact, we've just got news from OnNet USA about its successful beta test for the game, as well as some announcements regarding contests OnNet's having for the gaming public.

First off, OnNet informed us that it recently concluded its first closed beta, which allowed select players worldwide to come and try the TPS for free. According to OnNet, a second closed beta is being planned this month, so gamers may want to think about applying for the beta while they're at it.

More importantly, OnNet's got two great contests for the game, which adds some incentive for gamers to show their artistic side. First off, the company is hosting a fan art contest until July 5. Winners will get their manga artwork posted on the Manga Fighter homepage, and will also walk away with a digital keychain camera. Just post your entries on the forums here, and you've got yourself an entry submission.

Their create-a-story competition after the jump!
