A reboot of Shousuke Kurakane's 1949 series, this gag manga was part of a media mix that also included a Studio Pierrot anime (which was not a direct adaptation) and a video game for the Sega Mark III (which was later modified and released on the Master System in English as *Alex Kidd: High-Tech World*). The story follows the hijinks of a tomboy princess in Edo-period Japan.

This is an essay manga in which Sousuke Toka, the author of *Ranking of Kings*, looks back on his past days of frustration and difficulties. In his 20s, he had tried to become a manga artist, but it didn't work out, and he was forced to get a regular job. More than a decade later, he made the momentous decision to take another shot at his dream. The story depicts his process of getting back into manga-drawing, filled with anxiety, setbacks, courage, and determination. (Source: East Press, translated) *Note: Includes one extra chapter.*
