Side notes: This is trip to the past. I think it was made at the same time as the first Star Wars movie... or something like that. It doesn't score very high on rankings and that can be due of the age of the manga, not so many readers know about it or that the characters are mostly not Japanese origin. Still it's been re-printed many times so someone likes it.^-^ The art is realistic and on a really good level ... well most of the time. As for stories, they are okay... not the best ever but okay.
