The series follows the adventures of five handsome, heroic boys: Seiya the Pegasus Saint, Shiryuu the Dragon Saint, Hyouga the Cygnus Swan Saint, Shun the Andromeda Saint, and Ikki the Phoenix Saint. It begins when they first earn their armor and slowly learn the secrets and responsibilities of being Bronze Saints. Their first battle pits them against the Gold Saints (who represent the 12 major signs of the western zodiac) and the evil Regent that has taken over Athena's Sanctuary. Their second battle is against the Marine Generals (who represent the seven great oceans of the world) of Poseidon, and their final battle is in Hell against the Specters of Hades.

If you're a StS purist, don't buy this!,
By "lynxsden" (Sanctuary, Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya), Vol. 1: The Knights Of Athena (Paperback)
Not only are there mistranslations galore, but the DiC Ent. names & terms remain! (ie-Saint=Knight, Saori=Sienna, Shaina=Shina (?), Jabu=Jab, Mitsumasa=Nobu, Cosmo=mini-universe (??), Galaxian Wars=Galactic Tournament (??))Mind you, I don't blame Viz for these errors. Although unstated within the volume, it is quite apparent that DiC Ent. (the same people who are mutilating the tv series) has a large measure of editorial control. I would like to see what Viz could do without DiCs interferance. My advise: Find the fan translations.

4.0 out of 5 stars
not the best translation, but still Saint Seiya,
By VirgoSaint (BRADENTON, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya), Vol. 1: The Knights Of Athena (Paperback)
This is a great Manga!!! Anyone who likes saint seiya should definitely give it a look. There are some bad translations, and its up to you if you can stomach the many changes.Saints have been changed to Knights (which isnt really a big deal because its the same in the other countries) Saori's name has been changed to princess sienna(princess???) Cygnus has been changed to swan jabu has been changed to jab the unicorn Mitsumasa Kiddo has been changed to lord Nobu cosmo has been changed to universe (although they occasionally slip up and say cosmo) At first the new names feel like knives piercing your eyes, but it wont bother you that much, the great story and artwork is intact. So I definitely reccomend this book, but if you cant stomach the translations I think you should either buy a different language version or the great saint seiya dvds by adv. translation - C overall - B-

Mangled version of a classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya), Vol. 1: The Knights Of Athena (Paperback)
The manga starts slow, but then gets great along the way. But this version has a seriously bad translation, and altered names and terms for unknown reasons. Versions from other countries have a far better translation, so I'd recommend searching for those rather than this one.
