<Dd> Yorihisa's elder brother, who is deceased by the time Akane arrives in Kyou . There is a significant age gap between Yorihisa and Sanehisa and it appears that Sanehisa was largely involved in Yorihisa's training and his upbringing . The way in which Sanehisa's role in proceedings is portrayed varies from anime to manga, although he appears in flashback quite often when a situation relates closely to Yorihisa (for example his memories of the Nue). In the anime, Yorihisa and Tenma both receive a brief dream message from Sanehisa telling them to go East to find the Eastern Seal . This is then followed by a scenario surreally sinister to the events that led up to Sanehisa's death, for which Yorihisa holds himself responsible . By defending Tenma in a similar way to how Sanehisa defended him, Yorihisa feels he has somewhat' atoned' and can at last share the story with his companions (Akane and later Tenma). In the manga, Yorihisa is afraid to face Sanehisa and receive the dream message because he feels to blame for Sanehisa's death, which is recounted as happening the same way as the anime depicts . </Dd> <Dd> Unlike Yorihisa, who is generally quite serious and focused in how he deals with situations, Sanehisa is a lot more light - hearted and is willing to tease both Akane and Yorihisa in the manga when he visits them in dreams . It is clear that he and Yorihisa shared a close bond and that he does not hold his brother responsible for his death - rather he sacrificed his life to ensure that Yorihisa survived . </Dd> <Dd> Though Sanehisa's name appears briefly in the anime, it is screamed rather than spoken, thus causing it to have been mis - heard and mis - written as a result . However on both anime credits and in the manga it is written as above, with the reading as given . </Dd> <P> The manga was done by Mizuno . It was serialized in LaLa DX magazine from July 1999 to January 2010, and published by Hakusensha in 17 volumes . An English version was licensed by Viz Media under the title Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time . </P>
