History Manga / AquaKnight

* ActionGirl: Ruliya

* CollapsingLair: Castle Zondac

* TheGrimReaper: Tagmec

* {{MacGuffin}}: "Niselle"

* IllGirl: Zykey, [[spoiler: cursed with a disease that's literally eating away at her body, she's cured at the end.]]

Brief (three volumes so far) manga series by Kishiro Yukito, the creator of ''Manga/{{Gunnm}}'', following the adventures of a young knight-in-training on the watery world of Marmundo.

First published in 1998, ''Aqua Knight'' is currently "on hiatus" according to Kishiro. Originally the story was a way for him to take a break from writing ''Manga/{{Gunnm}}''; when he continued that series with the ''Last Order'' books, ''Aqua Knight'' was set aside again. A lighthearted adventure with just enough drama to keep things interesting, the story is wholly different from the dense cyberpunk world of Gally and Ido, but no less enjoyable for it.

* OnlySixFaces: Not that few, but you will recognise Kishiro's reuse of face types if you have read his other works. And it goes both ways: Zycrow later gets wholesale transplanted into the Last Order as a Tzykrow, Gally's JerkAss Panzer Kunst teacher.
