Manga Characteristics
- All the stories are based on real life persons. While the story of each character is respected, the author takes liberties necessary to impregnate his narrative style and it's grand amount of detail.
- Another characteristic of this manga is the different art on each chapter. The art varies greatly through the course of the manga seeing how the gap between the release of the first and the last chapters has been so long. The series starts with the style the author used in his early career while drawing Phantom Blood and the last ones are similar to SBR.This is therefore a great example of the author's artistic evolution.
