Viz Media licensed Nao Iwamoto's "The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom" manga.


Viz Media announced that the company has licensed Nao Iwamoto's "The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom", and the first two chapters of the manga are now published digitally on Saturday.

The story takes place in the Marronnier Kingdom, a nation surrounded by seven neighboring countries whose relations have remained strained for decades. Seeking to strengthen ties and preserve peace, the kingdom's famed female general, Baribara, dispatches her seven sons on diplomatic missions to the surrounding nations. Her sons are each a knight commander with a distinctive personality and talent; the brothers set out to represent Marronnier and foster cooperation among the continent's eight kingdoms.

As the brothers travel to distant lands, each encounters unique cultures, challenges, and political intrigues. Their journeys gradually reveal deeper tensions between the nations, as well as lingering questions surrounding Baribara's origins and the special qualities possessed by her sons. Meanwhile, the princess of Marronnier secretly leaves the palace in disguise under the name Bruno and accompanies one of the brothers on his journey.

The manga series was published in Shogakukan's Monthly Flowers magazine in September 2016 and released in 11 volumes. It also received achievements, including winning Takarajimasha's This Manga is Amazing guidebook for female readers in 2018.

It was adapted into an anime series, which streams on Amazon Prime Video on Saturday, October 3rd.
