## Production

After the end of *Silver Reborn*, Alex Guy originally decided to end the series and move on. Inspired by the *Pokemon* series, Alex Guy came up with the idea for *Haven Story*. Lucas was one of the first things planned in the series. Originally the major antagonists were Sakari, Firebrand, Vessel, and X, with Vessel being Keichi's long lost brother. However Alex Guy was not satisfied with the Vessel and X arcs, and went through a couple revisions. Inspired by *My Hero Academia*, Firebrand was removed shortly before his planned appearance and X was also removed. The Neo Rangers were added and the X arc was changed to the Bianco Academy arc, with the academy given more spotlight. The series is longer than any other manga made by Alex Guy.
