Notes: Won the 47th Shogakukan Manga Award for General Manga in 2001 and was Adapted into two movies. Written by Buronson (Fist of the North Star Writer and Kentarou Miura Collaborator), and Ryouichi Ikegami (Crying Freeman, Sanctuary W/ Buronson). Last group working on it is completely inactive and I can't find anything about them. I have the remaining raws for the untranslated volumes and can send them. Not very hard to redraw other than maybe the chapter covers. Surprised more unscanslated series from this duo hasn't been picked up already.
