The manga was discussed in the Japanese Diet and was popular with members of the Self-Defense Force. Won the 14th Kodansha Manga Award for General Manga in 1990, which it shared with Harold Sakuishi’s (Author of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad) manga Gorillaman.
You may know Kaiji Kawaguchi from his other manga Eagle: The Making of an Asian-American President & Zipang. This is one of many of his works still fully unscanslated.
