The Lost Canvas tells the story of the previous Holy war of the universe of Saint Seiya, taking place in the XVIII century, 250 years before the original manga. The story centers on the relation between Tenma, the Pegasus Saint and his beloved friend, Alone, who would eventually become his greatest enemy, Hades.
The Manga started serializing on August 24, 2006 in the Weekly Shonen Champion magazine, it currently has 119 chapters an ongoing, so we are more likely to see OVAs released through all the year, or in several parts like the Hades saga.
