Just wondering if aside from me, if anybody here is a fan of the Short lived anime but continuing in Manga "Zipang"?

Zipang is the story of a Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Aegis destroyer "Mirai" which was on en route to hawaii for Naval excersices with the US Navy when mysteriously, it was transported back in time to WWII at the time of Midway.

Trapped in the WWII, the crew are now in trouble if they're going to interfere with history or not to survive in the said timeline.

Modern weapons in WWII..wow

Anybody know of a site so that I can browse the manga? Raw manga will be fine.

The anime was cancelled and the story was not continued in Anime form but the manga I think is still continuing.

Here are samples of the anime:

The background music is quite catchy

Help on the manga please!!

This series sounds really fascinating. I'll have to watch the episode, and I'll keep an eye out for the manga. Navel series are always good.

Yup..it's really nice. Too bad it got cancelled...waaaaah!

Anyway, the vids on youtube are subtitled so you'll appreciate it even more.
