The September issue of Kadokawa's Comic Cune magazine announced that Hana Ikuta will launch a new manga titled Noraware Yūsha to Tokitai Seijo (The Cursed Hero and the Saint Who Wants to Free Him) in the magazine's next issue on August 27. The fantasy romance follows hero Mikage, who is cursed with petrification after defeating the dark lord, and his wife Crane, a saint curious about curses.
Hana Ikuta's next serialization is a fantasy romance about a cursed hero and the saint who marries him. The story centers on Mikage, who defeats the dark lord only to be left with a petrification curse that will slowly kill him. He returns to Crane, the saint he won as a wife, resigned to his fate. Crane's curiosity about curses and her straightforward nature may be what opens his closed heart.
The new manga follows a wave of English releases for Ikuta's work. Tokyopop is releasing The Shadow and the Flower in English and will release What Is Normal Love? starting in November. Manga Mavericks Books licensed Oni & Dawn: Bakumatsu High School Girls and will release the first volume in October.
