It was beautiful from the beginning to the end. Thank you, Mizukami Satoshi for creating such an artwork just for us. Thank you, all contributors, for making it possible for people like me to be able to read such a heartwarming story. Thank you, thank you very much.

Started it today, read 50 chapters in a row. Almost made me cry 3 times. I get the feeling I´ll bawl my eyes out when I finish it.

Spoiler

Gainax is crazy, an anime of Hoshi no Samare would be 10 times better than Panty & Stocking...

Definitely a masterpiece tho I dislike parts of it, easily in the top 3 of action mangas. I cannot believe that there is no anime of this.

wow, this is one of the best seinen action manga I have ever read.

you can see that the author had planned this out and didn´t just try to make it as long as possible to earn more money...

Mizukami Satoshi you have my respect!!!

Just finished reading this amazing manga. I stumbled upon Hoshi no Samidare while reading your other works. It really gives me a feeling of true originality. Never before have I truthfully laughed, cried, and smiled at anything like this. You truly are a genius and an author I respect, whom I'll never forget. Thank you, Mizukami Satoshi. Great things are ahead for you.

Commence rage.


A worthy suggestion.

Motherloving sons of BI-

Okay. Okay...

Just. Frustrated at the idea. Yes, I am a ridiculous fanboy over it, but if any series deserved animation it's this one. Augh. To think that the adaptation came so close and then died because of freaking music licensing. That even the band was on board with! argleblarglegah
I didn't translate that, btw.
And now we know why there's been no Hoshi no Samidare/The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer anime.

From the new Newtype, an interview with Mizukami Satoshi (Mangaka of Hoshi no Samidare), translated by me. Not the whole article, just the important part.

>NT: Have you been approached about an anime for Hoshi no Samidare?
>MS: Yes. I talked with Gainax about it, but there were problems.
>NT: What kind of problems?
>MS: Well, I wanted The Pillows to do the soundtrack.
>NT: I think that was obvious!
>MS: Yes, of course. Gainax was interested and wanted The Pillows to do the soundtrack. We talked to the band and they were interested too.
>NT: What happened then?
>MS: Well it seems like the whole thing should be good to go, right?
>NT: Right.
>MS: But the labels for The Pillows music did not want to give up the licensing rights. The current label, Avex Trax wouldn't budge and King Records, their previous label, wouldn't either.
>NT: Why not just make new music or not use The Pillows?
>MS: Well... there is the next problem. We fought about it for several months trying to get them on board, and then...
>NT: And then?
>MS: The offer was off the table. Funding went to something else and the offer for a Hoshi no Samidare anime was removed.
>NT: Where did the funding go?
>MS: I think to Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.
>NT: And you haven't had any other anime offers since.
>MS: Nope.

Commence rage.
This is the kind of story I aspire to write someday, but doubt I will ever match. I can't think of any other series I read that has such a perfectly contained character arc for its protagonists, taking them from their emotionally stunted adolescences and making them truly grow over the story. The series knows what its core theme is and plays to it strongly, fleshing it out through all the characters. It's a powerful, character-driven drama dressed up as a fantastically-written comedy and action story, and Mizukami Satoshi is probably my favorite author for it in any language for the wondrous balancing act he pulled off in making it work. This series honestly works on every level for me, and if I am gushing, it is only because I cannot help but do so. I fall in love with it over and over again, and in new ways, every time I come back to it.

And I love the art. I don't care if it's not super-polished, perfectly proportioned (er, insofar as such can be said of any manga, really), or ridiculously flashy. For one, Mizukami's style is distinctive, a trait I highly value - I love being able to look at a picture and say, "Hey, it's him!" The art also doesn't get in the way of the action. I can always tell what's going on, whereas in other series with much more detailed and polished art I can easily get lost during action sequences because all that detailed art is too detailed for me to follow easily (yes, I'll cop to this being a personal failing, at least for some series). I can almost see the animation during fights in this, though, as everything is drawn so cleanly and clearly. It's never too busy for its own good.

And probably the best part, it's not up its own ass.
I... really can't ask for more.... It's complete.
One of the best manga written by one of the best authors. I always have mixed feelings when the good mangas end, but I suppose one of the things that make them good is the fact that they're not strung out for hundreds of chapters past when they should've ended.
Same here, but it's my first time. He sure know how to hit it right on the spot.
I'm re-reading this manga. Still love it. That is all.
I love this manga as much as anyone else, but oh Yayoi, how I wish you could've ended up with Amamiya.
Disgrace to Knights everywhere. Even I, an educated Barbarian / Pirate Namerater could kill any one of those characters (maybe not like 3 of them) but the rest, Pathetic!
The life lesson which stuck out so much and just another one of the many traits that makes this manga brilliant & pleasant. http://www.batoto.net/read/_/9968/hoshi-no-samidare_v2_ch11_by_snoopycool/20
A modern classic no doubt. Amazing read.
The chapters may be few compared to other mangas but this is ONE HELL of a read! I felt like it's been years since I "journeyed" along with them in this story. I felt a sense of satisfaction when the "journey" ended.

I really like how he portrays what I dub as their "ki-shi-shi-shi" faces as well.
It's like one of the very few mangas with lots of hype that actually live up to it :P (or even better)
hi. you're probably reading this comments section to see any input if this manga is any good. Well, I have some good news for you..

It's amazing! Posted Image
Loved it. Great art with an awsome story. Its one of my top 5 manga. Read it.
great manga to bad it ended
Wow I reread this manga and totally noticed somthing I missed the first time reading it.

This comment by @Glave have been disabled for viewing for the use of an unknown, godlike abusive word(not sure if it even a word). The main reason of the comment was that the user disappointed because this manga lack the attention it deserve even after so many years it ended. The rest of the comment was about world apocalypse and other similarly random crap.

Dear readers, this manga was goddamn awesome, so please enjoy your reading. Have a nice day.
