ITS A GEM

If you loved Kentaro Miura's short about the giant and the little girl, this is kind of the same read. And by this point, everyone and their granny nows Guin Saga inspired Berserk.


So : Insanely good art, simple but mildly mysterious story, glistening heterosexual muscleness.
Its very short so go ahead if you're into fantasy. Even though it's so short i don't know why there's no review yet. It's a great example of a manga that achieves what it sets out to do, very simple but very good.

Unfortunately only 3/6 volumes are available in english, so don't even think about finishing it. For the ... story this is a manga adaptation of a 130 books long japanese fantasy series which is pretty popular over there. Of those 130 books, only 5 where translated in english, a sadly recurring theme for this series...

the prince is a whiny bitch though

Now I understand why Miura loves this Work.
