  • Author Appeal: Why are there close-up shots of various animals popping up throughout the series? Because Akio Tanaka loves it!
  • Troubled Production: Tensions between writer Izo Hashimoto and artist Akio Tanaka boiled over following the conclusion of the first arc, triggering a 150 million yen lawsuit between the creators over authorship for the manga. This resulted in numerous delays, hiatuses, and changes in authorship credit, and accounts for the noticeably decreased quality in the manga's latter chapters.
