I'm really happy to see more classic series like these making a comeback. I love collecting the omnibus editions because they make collecting the entire series a lot easier. I'm really excited for the next volume in the omnibus series now!
If you're interested in trying out any modern series with a similar theme, I think you would probably like 4 Cut Hero! It's based on an rpg game, and it follows the 'hero' after his biggest mission ever. All he wants to do is live a normal life, but people from his previous missions keep interfering. It blends elements from the real world with a fantasy world, and has a much more modern sense of comedy that would probably be more your style than the comedy in Dragon Half.
