Story
The unforgettable shōjo classic about two young people overcoming their pain by trusting each other returns - in a glittering, metallic hardcover with a completely new translation and freshly designed covers!
Kira's life is marked by pain: Gang violence took her father from her as a child; her mother's remarriage left further scars. When one day she silently gives directions to a strikingly handsome boy via a drawn map, he discovers one of her drawings on the back. The boy - a motorcyclist named Rei - is fascinated. When the two end up in the same class, a scandalous incident brings them together: Rei promises to model for Kira if she shows him more of her art. But Rei, too, carries a family tragedy that has made his temper short and explosive. Can these two wounded souls heal each other - or will they burn before they can?
After its English release in 2002, MARS became one of the best-selling shōjo manga ever - but the series was long out of print. For the 30th anniversary, Kodansha is bringing MARS back, with a new translation in collectible 2-in-1 hardcovers with a metallic look and new cover illustrations by creator Fuyumi Soryo. The new edition is complete in a total of 8 volumes.
