Side notes: It took me lil time to notice that the manga is to be read from left to right like western comics.XDD After I got that the text started to make more sense than at the start. The art is on good level but it suffers from scanlation (I read the story in scanlation form). But I can't shake the feeling of Star Wars from my shoulders as I look at it.^-^ The story as it is could have worked as official translation too but people probably never really got into the series or liked the way it was mirrored for English readers. Or it could be the poor balance of the story in the beginning. Or the episodic story form... there are too many possibilities.^-^ I still think it reserves it's position as a good manga to read though so adjustment it may need from the reader.

Main character



Bolt Crank (ボルト・クランク)
Bolt Crank is the World's Greatest Mercenary, and with good reason. He is considering himself as an explorer and nothing more. He also has the ability to eat any object and, when needed, reproduce it from his right hand. Also in the world of Eat-Man is the Alvion, a flying ship that flies even though it is a destroyed wreck. The ship floats in the sky, and is always where Bolt is.

In the middle of manga's story was revealed that he can reproduce object with any part of his body.
