Kurokami Captured (黒髪のキャプチュード, Kurokami no Kyapuchādo, Darkhair Captured) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ryūsuke Mita. The story follows a boy endowed with the power of a special ring called General.
Plot[edit]
An earthling named Captured and his adventures are in a distant universe where he isn't really wanted because of his black hair which the inhabitants-which are called the land Starians- do not have.[1] Several years ago, he was tormented by the other kids and he found a ring called General. It had the power of Spect'master and the ability to change his arm into a weapon. Along with Manji - his father and a female called Camel, they run a ramen shop between their adventures in order earn enough money to buy a spaceship to return to Earth.[2]
