A new spin-off for Knights of the Zodiac
As prolific as it is immortal, the Saint Seiya franchise continues to proudly display its desire to anchor itself in the long term, sometimes even disappointing his most loyal fans. Undoubtedly the price to pay for not remaining frozen in the past. Launched with the blessing of the original creator Masami Kurumada, spin-offs and other adaptations more or less removed from the original context thus continue to tirelessly enrich a galaxy that has now become sprawling. Even if we stick only to manga, it becomes difficult to go around the owner in a truly exhaustive way. Yet, beyond the Saint Seiya Episode G, Lost Canvas, Saintia Sho and others Next-Dimension, there will soon be a new name to add to the list of manga derived from the work of Masami Kurumada: Saint Seiya Dark Wingwhose release in French is now imminent.
