Side notes: This manga isn't new if thinking when it was first time translated in 2012. Still it was added as a new project to couple of manga reading sites probably due of the official English release of the series in July 26, 2016. The series is in Hiatus so there is no information about the future of the series although premise for a good adventure story is there but it's unsure if it is continuing or not. The art is colored with Western style and I'm unsure if Mikura is more English than Japanese... but that's probably isn't the main point.XD How good it is depends on the reader and their likes. There is a bit naked skin to be seen so it's not totally suitable for young kids in everybody's mind so it's better keep that in mind though I don't find it too alarming. Story is okay... but I kinda hoped it to be more fast pacing than it is now.
