VIZ MEDIA ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF
NEW SHOJO MANGA SERIES DAWN OF THE ARCANA
A Princess
Uses Her Power to Make a Difference in New Fantasy Romance Series
In DAWN OF THE ARCANA, Princess
Nakaba of Senan is forced to marry Prince Caesar of the enemy country Belquat,
tantamount to becoming a hostage. While Caesar is pleasing to the eye, he is also
selfish and possessive, telling Nakaba outright: “You are my property.” With
only her attendant Loki at her side, Nakaba must find a way to cope with her
hostile surroundings, her fake marriage...and a mysterious power!
“DAWN OF THE ARCANA creator Rei
Toma has crafted a fascinating tale about a strong princess who discovers that
she has an ancient power. She unearths secrets about her past, crosses swords
with her husband, and has the gumption to fight for a better future for herself
and those around her,” says Amy
Yu, Editor. “Readers
will get swept up in the emotional and dramatic tension that permeates this new
fantasy romance story from our Shojo Beat line.”
Rei Toma has been drawing since
childhood, but she attracted a publisher's attention with her manga short
story, Help Me, Dentist. Her
art style became a hit with readers, and following her debut as a manga artist,
she also became widely known as an illustrator for novels and video game
characters. Her current manga series, DAWN OF THE ARCANA,
is her first long-running manga series, and has been a hit in Japan, selling
over a million copies.
