I've collected the 8 special edition mangas of it and it was impressive. Story of a teenaged Spriggan who takes on various paramilitaries and world powers such as the US, Britain and Russia in order to protect out-of-place artifacts, which is why this was heavily censored when VIZ translated it to English. I read the First Mission and Gold Rush one shot stories, never published in Shonen Sunday, but they have stories of Yu's first mission with ARCAM and his mission after college.
I've heard that Chuang Yi is doing an English translation. Let's all cross our fingers and hope they finish everything. If not, let's hope a scanlation group will take interest in doing so.
PS - I've recently found a good source for the Spriggan RAWs though.
