What other Saint Seiya manga are there?
Six spin-offs deep, the constellation is still growing, now in two countries and two genders of hero.
The modern Saint Seiya shelf has four pillars: the original, Episode.G, The Lost Canvas, Next Dimension and Saintia Sho. Around them orbits a second ring of shorter, stranger works, all published by Akita Shoten in the Champion family of magazines, plus one French branch that proves how far the series’ centre of gravity has travelled.
