I finally got the manga. Now I have 1-7. ^_^ Over a year and a half of actively searching and waiting finally paid off! I've been through vol 1 in detail now. I'm surprised that all the kanji have furigana; I had thought this had an older target audience. Anyway, I love the early stuff in the manga. I really like the way they presented the intro of Julian and Yang, and the little story featuring Mittermeyer and Reuntal. The first volume went through the end of the battle at Astate. Question, maybe spoiler. . . . . . . . . . . . Is that a cloaked ship floating around on the last page? Are those guys from Phezzan? What's up with that?
