zoku cutlass is dead. It shall not continue. in its place stands cutlass, times of boys. this manga, published by zero comics and released in september 2000 is a strange ordeal. back in the spring of 2000, team bonet began to fear cutlass's story would never finish when it took forever for volume three to appear. the end of the manga should not have been shocking news, since higuri announced the move from cain comics in the second volume of zoku cutlass. yet, we didn't really expect what took place. not only did the publisher change, so did the whole story of cutlass. cutlass, times of boys is not a continuation of zoku cutlass, nor is it an alternative world.
