If I remember correctly, this was the first collaboration between an American writer and a mangaka. As it is, Hirata took about 5 years doing the art. I'm sure he was working on a lot of other manga during those years. When the art was sent back, the story was changed a lot, so Sharman rewrote much of the dialogue. She had written a story about the lone samurai (much like Yojimbo), and he had concentrated on the politics at that time.

However, the art was brilliant! I had to letter directly on the original art--computers were not used for lettering at that time, but I still do my lettering by hand.

I never realized that Sharman DiVono was a woman. What little bit I've read concerning the writer never mentioned that. Or, maybe, I just forgot.

Yes, Sharman is most decidedly a woman--a very beautiful one at that. She is also one of the most interesting people I have met. She taught auto mechanics at one point, and was also a belly dancer (yes, I did see her perform). Most of her writing credits is in animation.

I haven't seen her in years--not since she and her horse moved out of the LA area.
