Best NEW unlicensed manga, manhwa, and manhua

What are your favorite manga, manhwa, manhua, and other Asian comics that a) have not yet been licensed in English, b) were created within the last ten years or so?

Other than Yokohama KK mumble, which is delightful and which I am already reading, and Yoshinaga Fumi's Ooku, which I already know about... and would really appreciate scanlation links for, if scanlations exist. If not, maybe I should bid on scanlating services from [livejournal.com profile] livelongnmarry.

If you describe why I ought to read them, and provide or email scanlation links if they exist, I may read and review them here. Also, I am in a position to occasionally suggest licenses. Just sayin'.

I read very few scanslations that I'm not already reading in licensed form, but one that I've read a bit of and really, really want to be licensed is Shin Angyo Onshi.

My tag from the little bit I read last year: http://meganbmoore.livejournal.com/tag/shin+angyo+onshi

(though the tag will likely soon change to manga:+shin+angyo+onshi)

It's like someone decided that the Chun Hyang legend sucked because the hero left the heroine there while he went off to become an official and THEN saved her, and she sat around waiting for him, so they offed him, made her a badass, and sent her off with another badass to reform ancient Korea. And added bondage issues. (This is all the first few chapters.)

You beat me to it :) (please note you may recognize him?/her? as the creator of Let's Bible)

Actually, I'm not sure what Let's Bible is...

Oh, you must have missed the posting on S_D a couple of months ago, where the crackiness of it all was succinctly summed up as "Sacrilicious!". Unfortunately, most of the image links there have been replaced with the Yellow Frog of Doom, but InventorSpot has enough scans and description to give you a bit of an idea of what you missed...

Oh, yes. The "Jesus as a hot babe" one...
