Gun Blaze West - A Lost Pearl.

The problem with Shonen Jump at the time was the cancellation of some series due to not selling enough content and Gun Blaze West was one of those works.

And it gives us a strong realization to embrace our goals. One that is as strong as that of the main character's, Viu Bannes.
