VIZ Media launches a fantastic tale of
fairies and fantasy set in against the backdrop of Victorian England with the
debut of THE EARL AND THE FAIRY on March 6th. The new Shojo Beat series,
created by Mizue Tani with artwork by Ayuko, is rated ‘T’ for Teens and will
carry an MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN.
Lydia Carlton is a fairy doctor
and one of the few people with the ability to see the magical creatures who
share our world. During one of her rare trips to London to visit her father,
Lydia’s quiet life is suddenly transformed when she is rescued from kidnappers
by a mysterious young man!
Edgar Ashenbert claims to be
descended from the human ruler of the fairy kingdom, and he urgently needs
Lydia’s help to find and claim his birthright, the legendary sword of the Blue
Knight Earl. Things will never be the same for Lydia as she is pulled into a
dangerous quest against dark forces!
“Author Mizue Tani
originally wrote THE EARL AND THE FAIRY as a popular collection of light novels,
and the story has been captivatingly adapted into a manga series with beautiful
artwork created by Ayuko,” says Pancha Diaz, Editor. “Intrigue awaits readers
as the Earl tells Lydia that he is the descendant of the Blue Knight. But a serial killer is
also on the loose, and Edgar matches his description. Could this charismatic
aristocrat really be a murderer?”
Mizue Tani is the author of
several fantasy novel series and received an honorable mention in 1997 for the
Shueisha Roman Taisho awards. Aside from THE EARL AND THE FAIRY,
her other major series is Majo no Kekkon (The Witch’s Marriage).
Artist Ayuko debuted with the
story, “Us, You and Me,” in the
Japanese shojo magazine Bessatsu Margaret, and
has gone on to publish several manga titles in addition to THE
EARL AND THE FAIRY.
