Commentary
Kei Shigema
(Shigema discusses how this book goes into Ghaleon's backstory and gives
a better look at a past fan's don't yet know much about. He also praises Funato
-- the author of this comic -- and mentions how she played a role in creating
the Lunar world itself within the games. Perhaps I'll eventually translate this
bit in full.)
-back-
The magic city of Vane.
Once that city was filled with people of the Vile Tribe.
With an airship that was the city’s 'great inheritance' circling about,
the feelings of the Vile Tribe's Ghaleon and humans would complicate one
another.
Written for fans interested in what's beyond the games, here is a collection of
episodes
exclusively about the true nature of the great Ghaleon!!
