Side notes: For some reason this manga made me think about Dune (novel series) mainly 'cause of the setting. People live on a vast sand filled world moving around in mud-ships and where their life expectancy isn't very long. In that scenario it's interesting story (I'm comparing it to the Dune) and it's been awhile with a story with this much of imagination used.^-^ Art is okay, shoujoish and a bit untidy... but it goes. I don't think it's bad so if this makes you interested take a peek of this story too.^-^b 

 I'm now a bit sleepy so I continue this probably later after I get other mangas up to date today.^-^
