The final line of "a full metal heart" really sinks in and resonates with me. Not only does it bring full circle but it points to a light out of the dark tunnel. What awesome story telling. This could have become a classic and must study literature if it's not in manga form and produced in Japan!
Who knows, in another 30 year it may become one.
It certainly have all the values of becoming a classic, good story telling, rich back story, epic journey, harsh reality, a strong under tone of romance, kinship, friendship, trust and, hate and much much more.
Love to see it written as a novel which will no doubt bring more readers to appreciate it's true qualities.
