Tachibana Mizuki (橘水樹)

Lina and the gang encounter a soon-to-be truly misfortunate bandit who stumbles upon a gleaming find in the most unlikely of places. When the magic item unleashes its devastating powers on her friends, Lina can only watch on in horror as she’s forced to re-live the most disgusting experience of her Special youth. (Get it? You might want to watch the Slayers Special OVA #3, “Mirror, Mirror” to get the full effect. Believe me… it is oh… so… worth it.)

‘Jane’ portrays the adventures of the crew of Janeth V, Earth’s fastest spaceship. As it belongs to an interplanetary alliance, this spaceship is the workplace of humans as well as aliens. Their aim is respect for the order of space and discovery of new worlds. This is quite an unusual manga due to the fact that the authors collaborated with an astronomer to develop the technical side of the story and depict facts about space travel accurately.
