Note:

2nd page (2-3) for the series, English translation scans. I added white
border around the author/ artist information.

Both Bato.to and Baka give the artist/ author name as Mizukiyoshi Juro while MAL uses name Mizu Seijuurou (/ 清十朗水) which can mean that the name romanisation is a bit off on Bato.to and Baka (neither of them has the japanese name written, so I can't check the name). Also Baka says that Mizukiyoshi Juro is the author not the artist of the series while there is no other information about the artist nor the Novel. As I checked the name Mizu Seijuurou (/ Miz Seijuurou) on Baka there was no mention about this series. But the original scans of the series give the credit for MAL information 'cause it seems to be correct.

Detail from the 2nd page.

Side notes: The art is pretty much average level but on the good side (not always though) so there isn't lots to complain. The plot seems to be quite typical shounen adventure manga plot with bullying and weak coming strong. But If asked I was most disappointed of the treachery played upon our MC... well it's not something you can't see coming after you saw the "God" in the beginning so it was more or less fit to that scene and made me think a lot of Danganronpa. And it also made me go heavy "Sigh."... I was looking more originality but maybe later then.^-^

... but why do I think about Pandora hearts now? o.o Suddenly there is that "Alice in Wonderland" feeling creeping all over me....

P.S. As I also checked a bit around for the LN of this series. The Bato.to members had a discussion about it and it seems that there has been an issue of plagiarism involved. I don't know who's guilty and what but if the novel was "canceled" after three volumes it might affect also to the manga version of the same series.
