RJ later finds himself wandering the countryside with a new-found companion, Ike, and later Clyde Barrow. Unfortunately, bad luck seems to follow him everywhere, and he finds himself with more than a few enemies as well. A lushly illustrated series. The series was put into a hiatus in 2006, unfortunately years later publisher Kodansha and Afternoon magazine declared the series as finished, sadly it ends where the author left; if it ever comes back it won't be in the same print.
In 2014 what many thought it was impossible happened, the series had its first new chapter in 8 years since the hiatus, the series is officialy back, now on Young Magazine the 3rd but still published by Kodansha.
