Ages ago, the goddess Athena was served by fighters known as Saints who channeled the power of the cosmos within them. Now a youth named Seiya has trained to earn the mystical cloth of Pegasus and become a Saint himself. He is joined by other Saints with cloths of their own to fight for Athena. This is the Kanzenban edition of the original Saint Seiya manga. It is a special edition that contains extras such as special diagrams and color pages in some of the chapters. It also has more chapters per volume, so the total volume count is 22 (whereas the original release of the manga was 28 volumes).
