This manga tells the story of the previous Holy War, taking place in the 18th century, 250 years before the original series, in the Saint Seiya universe. The story centers on the relation between Tenma, the Pegasus Saint and his beloved friend, Alone, who would eventually become his greatest enemy, Hades.
Style
In Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas all saints have the same appareance as the one of the original manga, except the colors, which Shiori Teshirogi uses colors from the anime for most characters, being Aries Sion the only one who has the hair color of the manga.
The style of draw is noted to have bodies with a little more detailed faces and longer arms than the original ones. The comedy of this manga is seen when looking the expression of a character. Shiori Teshirogi has "mixed" the design of some bronze cloths of the manga to the design of some cloths of the anime for the designs of the cloths of Lost Canvas. The earliest example is the first Pegasus Cloth of Tenma.
Sometimes, the author makes a mistake in the chapters published Shōnen Champion, being the earliest example a different star in the face of Hypnos. These mistakes are cleaned in the tankōbon, in which other images are added and files for the new clothes in the manga that have not appeared in the original one
