Before the manga started, Kurumada sent Teshirogi a general version of the manga's story, but as long as the series continued, she started changing some parts after discussing with people from Akita Shoten. In order to do that, Teshirogi had to change various things from her style such as the narration and getting used to how to draw fights. Although she was happy with such proposal due to the fact Saint Seiya has always been her favorite manga, she found troubles writing it since she used to write shōjo and Lost Canvas was meant to be from the genre shōnen. In such event, Teshirogi sent Kurumada the first manga she made as well as a letter which made Kurumada ask her to write The Lost Canvas. Shiori Teshirogi met Masami Kurumada in a public event she once visited during the time she was a new manga author. The story centers on the relation between Tenma, the Pegasus Saint and his beloved friend, Alone, who would eventually become his greatest enemy, Hades.


This manga tells the story of the previous Holy War, taking place in the 18 th century, 250 years before the original series, in the Saint Seiya universe. See also: List of Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas characters
