Long time, I always download this manga but never read XD...until yesterday, I browsed into www.onemanga.com, found this manga and read this manga. It took me a day to finish reading. This manga is really funny and make me wanna laugh non-stop. Unlike Hiro's previous manga, Rave, it is completely different as some people are gifted with the ability to use magical powers. It reminds me of Final Fantasy XII. Basically, they are similar in some aspect such like the mission are posted on board.

Saint Seiya

Yesterday I've just finished reading this manga namely "Saint Seiya" which is almost forgotten in present time, and it took me 3 days (@_@) to complete reading yet it is in chinese version >_<. Actually, I have been desperately searching for this manga since my brother bought only one book and it is Volume 8. Still the story in each chapters are still clearly vivid in my mind. It makes its the most favourite manga. This manga was really hard to find in the shop and nowadays, many manga website dont have this manga. =(

And I also bought some anime to relive my memory. However, anime that featured The Sanctuary Chapter and The Hades Chapter are almost incomplete without a few of last episodes. =( Waste my $... Luckily the featured anime of Asgard and Poseidon are completed. I somehow really enjoyed the Poseidon arc mostly because the concept was based on the lost city of Altantis. And also the armors that the villains wore are called "Scales". It's said that those are made of Orichalcum, a rare metal which is said to have existed in the meteorite which sunk the Atlantis.

PLOT OVERVIEW

Seven years back before the events at the focus of the series, one hundred orphans from Japan are sent to different countries for the training to become a saint of Athena. Because of some orphans died on the training, one of these orphans called Seiya who is sent to the Sanctuary in Greece and obtained the Pegasus Bronze Cloth is being focused as the main character. Returning to Japan to find his older sister who disappeared on the same day Seiya went to the Sanctuary, Saori Kido, makes a deal with him to go to fight in a tournament called the Galaxian Wars where the orphans who survived and became bronze saints must fight to win the most powerful cloth: The Sagittarius gold cloth. If Seiya goes to compete there, Saori would start a search to find the sister of Seiya. Soon, Seiya befriends with the other Bronze Saints, Andromeda Shun, Dragon Shiryu, Cygnus Hyoga and Phoenix Ikki. As the myth of the saints, they have to fight together to protect the reincarnation of Athena from ant danger.

SANCTUARY ARC
It begins with the "GalaxianWars" tournament which the Bronze Saints has to participle to obtain the prize of Sagittarius Gold Cloth. However, it was interrupted by Phoenix Ikki who stole the Sagittarius Gold Cloth at bequest of Pope Ares. Soon, they discovered that Saori Kido is the reincarnation of Goddess Athena and Pope Ares were behind all the happening. The Saints went to the Sanctuary to battle the twelve Gold Saints and figure out who is Pope Ares really.

ASGARD ARC
The Bronze Saints have to travel to Asgard to battle Hilda who is corrupted and influenced under the Nibelung Ring. Under the influence of the Nibelung Ring, Hildy attempted to flood the Earth by melting the polar ice and summon her seven God Warriors. In order to retrieve Odin Robe to restore Asgard back to what it was, the Saints have to battle God Warriors to get the gem in their own possession. While Athena take Hildy's place temporarily to pray and stop the flood. Are they able to get the Odin Robe and break the curse of the Nibelung Ring?

Note: It didn't exist in manga.

POSEIDON ARC
The war against Poseidon who wishes to drown the Earth with the Great Flood to purify the planet. The Saints has to rescue Athena who is imprisoned inside Main Breadwinner in the realm of Poseidon which is just underneath the world's oceans by battling seven Poseidon Mariner and breaking the Mammoth Pillar. Still, they were unable to demolish the Main Breadwinner and were confronted by Poseidon himself. Will the miracle happen? And who will be victorious?

HADES ARC
Sensing Hades has returned to Earth along with the 108 Demon Stars as Scepters plus the revived Gold Saints and other Saints. The mission of the revived Gold Saints is has to get through the Sanctuary to get Athena's head for Hades. Understanding the true intention of the revived Gold Saints and Virgo Shaka's suicide, Athena sacrifriced her herself for the ability to live in the underworld. The Bronze Saint discovered the true intention of the revived Saints, who came to live once again to warn Athena about Hades and reawaken Athena's Holy Cloth. With the upgraded Bronze Cloth to ultimate level with Athena's Blood, they have to awake their 8th senses and continue to wage the ongoing war in the Underworld. What will happen afterwards?

Well, that's my overview after reading a complete series. Hmm, in my opinion, this series is basically very good. Unfortunately, this series are stopped and discontinued due to low rating and left with uncompleted Heaven arc. I really wish the artist, Masami Kurumada can continue this arc. I'm interested to read more and more. It is really the best I ever read in my life. If can, I also wish the artist Masami Kurumada to remake this series to be better storyline.

Hopefully my message can reach Masami Kurumada. =D
