Yonezard Monogatari

This series is a precursor to Hiroshi Masumura’s Atagoal. It was serialized in Monthly Magazine Garo (月刊漫画ガロ) from May 1975 to March 1976. The story depicts the people of Yonezard, rising up against the re-invasion of King Kurmel, who once ruled the continent of Yonezard. Many characters in Atagoal would make their first appearances in this series (Ex. Tempura, Gilbars, and Pantsu) although their roles are significantly different in this series than those from future Atagoal publications.
