Manga

Kodansha published the manga's 4 bound volumes between March 1986 and March 1987.[7][8]

Reception

The French Manga-News regarded the first volume as "a good action manga if you like the author or the genre, but dispensable for others".[9] While praising the art, the Manga-News reviewer felt the story was unoriginal.[10] He felt that the "non-stop action" prevented the series from sinking into caricatures,[11] and noted that the popularity of the manga kept the manga going into a fourth volume, and found the last volume "most interesting".[12]
