I found a copy of this a while back at this little comics store near where I lived, and read it. I liked it so much that I started to search for one of the autographed copies, which I just recently purchased. Kia Asamiya's art is incredibly detailed, the story is rich, and this makes a wonderful addition to anyone's collection of manga. Dark is formidible while being adorable at the same time (I identify with the lack of directional skills!), and all of the other characters manifest traits that make them just as interesting. Buy this book!
Great Manga!

I really liked this series it will make an excellent addition to any manga fan's collection! It's a great fantasy/action series. Dark (the main character) is a young swordsman in training who ends up becoming the phantom-saint of the red phoenix, but in order to be accepted as a true phantom saint he must arrive in Oukoku in a short amount of time, being helped by his spirit-guide Kyo. Too bad Dark has no sense of direction, and he keeps running into dangerous people on the way! It's a great story, with great artwork, and keeps getting better! Plus this is the original version! If you liked Lodoss War, you'll luv this too!=)
