I remember spending my youth reading this comic and physically playing bidaman (how it was named in my country) back then in 90s. it a toy that shoot out marbles (but real life is not as wonderful as it was depicted in the comic). i remember sharing this comic with my cousins and we go and buy those toys and play with many marbles. later on in life i heard there is the anime version, but couldnt find it anywhere. i am quite fond of the story. its a story of friendship, betrayals, overcoming the hardships, despair, hope, cleverness and the determination.
