Manga
A manga by Satoshi Urushihara under the title Legend of Lemnear appeared in 1990 in the manga magazine Comic Nora published by Gakken and then from 1992 to 1992 in three anthologies ( Tankōbon ). They are divided into chapters called transmissions , each of which often corresponds to a fight or an important section of the story. In 1999 and 2000 a new edition appeared in two volumes.
A German publication followed in 2001 by Carlsen Verlag . In addition, a Polish, Russian, French and English translation was published.
reception
Patrick Drazen describes Legend of Lemnear in his book Anime Explosion! as a "pretty boring" anime based on the typical sword-and-sorcery fantasy scheme. According to the Anime Encyclopedia, the OVA essentially consists of "a girl on a quest for revenge, her harem, wobbling breasts" and increasing battle scenes . The producers would have reduced the needs of their audience too much - and made a mistake in the process. Realistically jumping breasts, action scenes and successful animations alone are not sufficient if the content is only half-hearted, flat plot and there is a lack of character drawing. The manga is described in the German magazine AnimaniA as an “exciting journey through a medieval world full of mysticism and adventure” . The story is characterized by "a captivating story, action, humor and [...] a touch of eroticism" and offers "with the charismatic personalities and enchanting drawings" an "unforgettable reading pleasure" .
