This comic strip by Judy Totoya (Yasushi Yamaguchi) originally appeared in
SPEC #3 and is the first of two
SPEC strips reprinted in
The World of Phantasy Star. The comic retells the beginning of Alis' quest and
Phantasy Star, with a more humorous spin. We are introduced to the heroine, Alis Landale as she comforts her dying brother, Nero. Nero passes her a paper, which is revealed to be a debt of 7,500,000,000 meseta. In this take, the unhappy maiden sets off not to avenger poor Nero, but to avoid the poor house!
