Side notes: This manga's art is baffling for me. It has many good points and then it soon reverts towards average level of art. So the level of the art isn't constant and it varies a lot between panels. Story is okay level and it probably gets better as one gets into reading. I only scanned the first volume so there is still lots to read.^-^ Still it's not in the level of One Piece yet, so it's better to keep them separated and not to mix with each other.
