Biographical Note:
Born in the hot spring town of Beppu in southern Japan, Fuyumi Soryo was in college for fashion when she won a contest that led her down a different path, to becoming one of the world's most beloved shojo manga artists. Her best-selling work is the teen melodrama MARS, now in print from Kodansha, with her other series including Cesare and ES.

Publisher Marketing:
The unforgettable classic shojo manga about two young people against the world who overcome their pain by relying on each other returns, in a glittering metallic hardcover with all-new cover illustrations and translation!

Kira's life has been marked by pain. Gang violence took her father when she was young, and her mother's remarriage only inflicted even more appalling scars. She has no trust left to offer the world, so when a ravishingly handsome boy asks her for directions one day, she draws a map and hands it to him without a word. On the other side of the map is one of her drawings, which catches the eye of the boy, a motorcyclist named Rei. When the two end up in the same class, an outrageous incident will bind them together--Rei promising to model for Kira, in exchange for more of her art. But Rei has also suffered a family tragedy that has worn down his temper to a short, flashing fuse. Can these two damaged souls with nowhere else to turn heal each other, or will they burn themselves out first?

Upon its release in English in 2002, MARS quickly became of the best-selling shojo manga of all time, on par with Nana. But this beloved classic has been out of print for decades--until now. Kodansha is bringing MARS back for its 30th anniversary with an all-new translation in collectible, 2-in-1 hardcovers featuring glittering metallic covers and new cover illustrations from creator Fuyumi Soryo.

The new edition will be complete in 8 volumes.
