summary
In December 1985 (January-2, 1986, the merger issue) began serialization in "Weekly Shonen Jump" magazine (WJ). The elaborate armor of the constellation called "Cloth" and the story based on Greek mythology gained popularity, and it was one of the signboard works of "Jump" in the 1980s represented by "Dr. Slump" and "Fist of the North Star".
In December 1985 (January 2, 1986), it was serialized in Weekly Shonen JUMP Magazine (WJ). The armor full of constellations is called "Sacred Cloth", with the theme of Greek mythology, the story has gained great popularity, and "Dr. Slump" and "Big Dipper God Fist" are called the representative works of "JUMP" in the 1980s.
Since Kuruda's previous work "Otokozaka" ended in a short-term series, the next work was conceived from the idea that "Seigo", which incorporates elements of plastic models, will be received by the boy reader and the story based on Greek mythology will be received by the girl reader. The aim was to the target, and it gained popularity with naming such as "Saint" and "Microcosm (Cosmo)".
In order to attract readers, this work decided to take a long-form route, "Sacred Cloth" absorbed elements of plastic models and faced young readers; the storyline based on Greek mythology was aimed at young readers, absorbing many elements to create this work. These intentions were right on the target, and the names such as "Saint Seiya" and "Little Universe" conceived won great popularity.
At the end of the Hardes edition of The Underworld, the ranking dropped, and the series in "Weekly Shonen Jump" ended in November 1990 while in the middle of the final decisive battle. Because it was found that the hardes edition was unscheduled for a long time and the final episode was not included in the end issue of the series, the "final part" of "Seiya" was published in the "V Jump" magazine of the same year when the reading work by Kurada was scheduled to be published, and the final part that was further retouched was drawn in the final volume of the book.
As the plot enters the end of Hades' chapter, the series also falls into an ice age, and although it is still in the final battle, it ends in the November 1990 issue of Weekly Shonen JUMP. The Pluto chapter was longer than expected and could not be completed in a magazine that had decided in advance to serialize the final ending, so Cheda decided to transfer the serialization of the work to V JUMP magazine, which was launched in the same year, in order to serialize the "ending chapter" of Hoshiya, and also add the story of the final chapter to the final volume of the single book.
Even after the main story ends, new goods such as The Saint's Seirodai series are released, OVA releases, new manga works such as Gaiden and sequels, etc. continue to be made.
After the end of this series, new products from the Saint Seiya series will be released, as well as OVAs, new manga titles such as spinners and sequels.
