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!!
