Raw scans from the 1991 first edition publication. Other than the jacket, the contents are exactly the same as the 2010 republication.

The art itself is like some combination of Five Star Stories and Lodoss War. Not a ton of mecha action, but unlike FSS this is a true fantasy mecha manga. Think of it like an expanded version of Panzer World Galient, but with more extravagant mecha designs.
This guy explains the plot pretty well:

I know for some people, this has been as sought after as the Dragon's Heaven manga, so here it is in its full, 180 page glory. Although there were a few more chapters serialized in the magazine it was published in, there was sadly never enough for a second volume to be created. What we have here is more or less an unfinished one-shot manga.
If anyone is willing to take a shot at translating this, you have my blessing.

Quattro?

Thanks.

Thanks anon, but why would you post it here? /m/'s locals are too young and stupid to even know what this is.

/m/'s locals are too young and stupid to even know what FSS is, but that didn't stop that one anon from posting scans of all the new chapters every month.
Unlike FSS though, this ought to get a much better chance of being translated since it's only one volume.

Remember when was he supposed to finish it

He did it, the absolute madman.

Isn't that the pilot of this thing?
>>
>>15763195
Given how much time he puts into directing nowadays, I have no idea why he thought he would be able to continue this.
>>
>>15763058
So why did it get cancelled?
>>
>>15764288
Nobody knows. Some people asked Izubuchi about it at a convention and he was a bit irritated.
>>
>>15763058
Thanks, I've loved the designs for a long time and wanted to see sauce. It's crazy how many model kits there are for this manga that hardly got started. More would be nice, but I imagine the creator's other projects pay better.

I hope scans pop up some day for those too.
Thanks, anon.

I want to see some line art of this mech

Not scanner, but I looked on Madarake a while ago and they have none of the issues of the magazine Rune Masquer was serialized in.

Literally the first page of results from google, you lazy fuck

Weird, exact same image but it didn't give me the duplicate image detected message. I meant to post this one anyways. Thanks again OP

>>15763058
Thanks and all, but this looks like a boring generic fantasy.

Looks like it came straight out of Spawn.

I can't be the only one who thinks these designs are even better than the Mortar Headds? They all look like genuine works of art without the weirdness holding back most of Nagano's designs.
Had this manga come out before FSS I'm sure FSS would have never become successful.
>>
>>15769556
Name me one fantasy work that isn't, according to your words, "generic".
This looks thirty times more inspired than Escaflowne, and Escaflowne is far above the norm in its designs and setting compared to most other anime.

Looks breddy cool, hope this gets translated sometime.

FSS is much more than some glamorous robot designs, anon.
>>
>>15774610
FSS had dozens of artbooks and model kits, not to mention a film. Rune never stood a chance.
