Hm, but if DC was serialized in 1994, Assume DC chars become 1 year old in 1995 (since a year would have passed with them in creation), then would that mean, years of serialization = years of age of characters in the manga, so as long DC is being serialized, Ran is immortal, or actually hiding the pendora gem?
^LOL ignore that.
Are there any clues to Anokata's birthday?
