The backstory has lots of potential - the gods at war; Athena, the patron of civilization is the only deity that fights for humanity rather than her ego; generations of brave warriors who are inspired by he example are known as 'Saints'; and a young boy who questions the need for his weapons' training.

There's lots of great stuff to work with here to build a fascinating world...but it gets passed over in favor of generic fight scenes that are fought with unexplained mystic bolts of energy against a disembodied voice that come crashing through the ceiling.

The author needs to make the story put down on paper to be more interesting than the one he hints at with the character dialogue.

Well, it's Saint Seiya Omega.   
The anime was suppose to be targeted at Elementary School children fans while milking the Adult ones (through the SCM, SHFiguarts, Official Clothstones etc) so dun expect the Manga to be any different. The chapters were released in Children Comic Magazine anyhow which unfortunately is not going down in price at my local bookstore even tho' it been months since it's released.

 

As for English Scanlations beyond the 1st Chapter, unless the Manga RAW goes online before January/February, dun think more will pop up. I understand the ones online from the Magazine isn't that good currently so the Scanlator might just wait for the Manga RAW to pop up online....HOPEFULLY in January or February
