Plot[]
On Deloca, a distant planet from Earth, high schools are mobile. They exist in train versions, huge ones, with shopping malls and dorms and anything else one would need in an education. Most students go to standard school trains, to travel around the world for a regular education. Reiichi, the protagonist, finds himself on the Special Train after literally being handcuffed to Arena, a young female warrior with brutal assassins pursuing her. The Special Train accepts him and Reiichi finds himself drawn into its adventures, such as having to win two million 'gold' and saving a small mountain town from certain disaster.

In Jason Thompson's online appendix to Manga: The Complete Guide, he describes the manga's artwork as "sparse and generic", which he felt was at odds with the series' premise of going places and seeing things.[5]
