New Steam Detectives (Shin Kaiketsu Jouki Tanteidan) (manga)
-
While I was reading a manga called Hero Detective Nick, something clicked in my head and made me reminisce about Steam Detectives (Kaiketsu Jouki Tanteidan, published by Viz, ex-license) from years back. I don't even remember how many times I reread those volumes, just that it was a lot (last volumes were hard to get, uuh...)...
That work had a sequel, comprising of 13 volumes which dwarfs the original(8 volumes), and while a lot of Kiya Asiamiya's stuff got English translations, this one didn't.
