Suikoden III?

[meganbmoore]

 I have never paid attention to Suikoden III because it's based on a game, and not even the first part, and those and i don't always get along(we get along ok in anime, but not in manga.)  However, I just learned that it's by the same mangaka as Qwan, which now has me curious.

Anyone read it?  Is it accessible?  Is it independent of the game?  Is it good?
