I'll be looking forward to those icons, then. *g* I've been meaning to make a few of my own, but I never seem to get around to it . . .

Anyway, the manga is very different. The series by Yabuki Gou (published under the Dragon Comics imprint) focuses on novel characters that the anime neglected, like a Dragoon named Xi Wang Mu and a lady knight named Receita. As a result, it jumps around in the timeline and leaves out major characters like Chris, Leo, etc.

Then there's the manga by Ikeda Kei (published under the Kadokawa Comics Dragon Jr. imprint), which has only one tank released so far. That I know of, anyway. It's . . . a weird blend of major scenes, minor scenes, random weirdness, and some really over-the-top visual gags. It at least has the confrontation with Chris toward the beginning like the anime does, but it splits off radically after that.

At any rate, the art styles of both series annoy me, so I tend to ignore them. XD;
