"Japan's
answer to The Lord of the Rings"
— The Globe and Mail
With more than a hundred installments
and going strong—each new book a bestseller—The
Guin Saga is Japan's top heroic fantasy series. Finally
available in paperback, the much-praised American edition of
The Leopard Mask is the first of a projected five comprising
the saga's opening "Marches Episode."
In a single day and night of
fierce fighting, the Archduchy of Mongaul has overrun its elegant
neighbor, Parros. The lost priest kingdom's surviving royalty,
the young twins Rinda and Remus, hide in a forest in the forbidding
wild Marches. There they are saved by a mysterious creature
with a man's body and a leopard's head who has just emerged
from a deep sleep and only remembers his name. Guin.

The
Guin Saga Manga: The Seven Magi
While the main story spans
over a hundred books, The Guin Saga is equally beloved
for the dozens of gaiden side stories wherein sorcery
is a potent and prominent force. This three-volume manga, based
on the first of the lush side stories, is the first-ever adaptation
of the mega-hit franchise to comics form.
