Mars 30th Anniversary Edition 3

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!

AN UNWANTED CHILD
The ghost of Sei haunts the bitter memories of those he left behind. Kira can only watch helplessly as the past continues to torment Rei. When her painting "Mars" finally unseals what was forgotten, the truth comes back in all its painful detail... Is it worth it to pursue the truth, or is it better to paint over the canvas?

Contains volumes 5 and 6.

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.
