Description Amamiya Yuuhi, Noi (the lizard), and Asahina Samidare from The Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. (Mizukami Satoshi)

If that title doesn't draw you in, the first few pages of opening narration will:

One morning, when I woke up, there was a lizard in my room.
We stared at each other,
and the first to break the silence...
was him.
"I am the knight, Sir Noi Crezant. The Princess protects this planet, however, an evil sorcerer has come. I am here to ask for your most esteemed services in hopes of saving the world from destruction."
.........
...............
The weather was nice outside.
*Chucks the lizard out the window*

I love the author's writing style and sense of timing, though the story's not as bizarre as that quote would lead you to believe. Rather than the standard heroic tale I was expecting, it turned out to be an surprisingly twisted and nihilistic story. Villain protagonists always make for good reading when done well.

Also, clouds. Something I could spend the rest of my life drawing and never be quite satisfied.

Without question my single favorite manga of all time. That's pretty much all there is to say on the matter.

It's a great series, right? ^.^ One of those that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves... I'm glad you like it!

It's deliciously snarky. Nothing like celebrating the bad guys who are the good guys against the bad guys who are bad guys, except that they're all bad guys who are...

I just confused myself.

Thank you~ I've been experimenting with a method using low opacity brushes and the smudge tool~ But I need more practice.
