1st Five Star Stories Manga Volume in 9 Years Ships in June

HxH´s hiatus ridden schedule is nothing as X had 2 separate anime adaptation run their course while the series... My amazon/Mu review for Five Star Monogatari to sell new readers on it:

A vast space opera for the ages (8,5/10)

Every proper mecha and space opera fan has heard of this manga but it is a shame that it has been forgotten by the current audience and that the first anime movie is the only real adaptation. The scenario alone screams video game adaptation! The sheer scope of the story over stretches a bit i must admit and some of the many stories are better then others but the Joker galaxy is still a place i want to return to and will now that the manga has finally gone out of hiatus in a way. I have no idea what is up with the related Gothicmade movie or the Tracer manga and how they tie in but it is somehow fitting that the series is a bit of a mess to this day. The art is gorgeous, the designs are one of a kind and the much discussed setting is almost too well established. There is violence and nudity but nothing too crazy and i bought the depiction of a war torn land for the most part. Actions have reactions down the line i feel that we are ultimately going somewhere even if the ending is still far out of reach. If you liked the Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu anime then this epic should be for you and isn´t it awesome that the similar Seikai no Monshou (YONEMURA Kouichirou) is being readapted too. It´s a glorious space age we live in and let´s hope that a translation of the remaining and new volumes comes sooner then later as the ones i have read kept up the high quality.

Looking back, the story was absolutely ridiculous
