by Ashibe Yuuho

Publisher - Akita shoten
Story Length - 24 volumes (on-going)

Summary - Arianrhod, a dark-haired, green-eyed “changeling” (Celts were light haired people, so if a child was born with a really dark hair, they believed that elves/fairies came and exchanged the baby with their own), with a minor druid training, starts on a quest to find the fabled crystal dragon to get help in revenging her clan that was destroyed by Balor of the Evil Eyes. A fantasy adventure that incorporates many of the Celtic beliefs and magic, while at the same time, retains the flavor of a “real” thing. (Taken from PRISMS)

Thank you wingtipcafe.com for scanlating this series. It is a great manga. It was once published in my country, but stopped halfway through. Hopefully you can find proofreader soon. Best of luck to you!

The recent chapter (v08 ch02) was hilarious.

“They said they’ll help make you a child factory.” <— LOL!! That’ll keep him busy.

And… “I don’t want to die of exhaustion!” <– double lol. Aren’t you lucky, Gil? XD

I also love SolilxHendruna couple. I think she got lucky in the end to find a man who loves her and cherishes her a lot.

Keep up the good work and be looking forward to more of your releases! =D

I can’t believe a group is actually scanlating this manga. And Pygmalio! You guys have the BEST taste in manga ever.

I really can’t thank you enough. I thought I’d never see these series ever again in my life. Best of luck guys, hope you can pull it off to the end.

Thank you very much for translation! I’m a big fan of celtic mythology and plot of this manga is pretty good, so I patiently wait for next chapters!

Thank you for the translation, this always been my favorite comics since 10 years old, maybe for their intriguing story and adventure… I’ll always wait for the scanlations because this comics is getting rarer at the used store… Thank you!
