Dear reader,

MARS is the kind of shojo that reminds you why older classics still hit so hard. Kira and Rei are not polished, perfect romantic leads. They are hurt, guarded, intense, and constantly carrying pain that shaped how they move through the world.

What pulled me in most was the contrast between them. Kira is quiet, artistic, and deeply afraid of standing out, while Rei is reckless, beautiful, chaotic, and impossible to ignore. Their connection feels dangerous and tender at the same time, which is exactly what gives this story its grip.

This volume does not shy away from heavy themes, but the emotional payoff is strong. The art has that classic shojo elegance, and the new edition makes the story feel collectible and fresh without losing its raw edge.

Kira, a withdrawn artist, crosses paths with Rei, a wild motorcyclist with his own painful history. After he notices her artwork, their lives begin to tangle together through art, protection, trauma, and an intense bond neither of them fully understands yet.

• A legendary shojo classic finally back in print.
• Beautiful vintage artwork with emotional intensity.
• A messy, magnetic romance between two wounded leads.
• Collectible 2-in-1 hardcover with new cover art and translation.
