Under the Oak Tree to Release Brand New Side Story Worldwide

By Josh PiedraJuly 23, 2024

Manta(www.manta.net, announced the release of a new side story for its top romantasy (a mix of fantasy and romance) webnovel series, Under the Oak Tree, titled The White Dragon. Premiering on July 25, this new installment by author Kim Suji offers fans a fresh perspective on the beloved world of Under the Oak Tree, the source of Manta’s most popular webcomic series. The completed three-volume side story will be available exclusively on Manta at launch.

Under the Oak Tree

The main series follows Maximilian, a noblewoman with a speech impediment, who is forced into an arranged marriage with Riftan, a lowly knight. After their wedding night, Riftan leaves for a military campaign, returning three years later as a celebrated hero. He is determined to make their marriage work, and through patience and understanding, he helps Maximilian overcome her insecurities and their relationship deepens into a profound and enduring love.

Under the Oak Tree – The White Dragon is narrated from the point of view of Ursuline Ricaydo, a knight of the Remdragon Knights and a subordinate of the series’ male lead, Riftan Calypse. In this side story, a seventeen-year-old Ursuline’s world is turned upside down when his ruthless half-brother arrives in the capital, demanding Ursuline become his squire.  An encounter with the enigmatic knight Riftan forces Ursuline to confront the true meaning of chivalry. Torn between family loyalty and his own aspirations, Ursuline faces a daunting challenge that could change his future forever.

The release of Under the Oak Tree – The White Dragon is a delightful surprise for fans who bid farewell to the main storyline in April 2024. This new story offers an opportunity to revisit the enchanting world and its characters. In addition to the webnovel, fans can look forward to more print adaptations of Under the Oak Tree this fall. Penguin Random House’s imprint, Inklore, is set to release a comic book adaptation in September and a novel adaptation in November, expanding the reach of this beloved series to even more readers.

Manta has established itself as a pioneer in romantasy storytelling, offering not only Under the Oak Tree but also other popular titles like Betrayal of Dignity and I’ve Become a True Villainess. Additionally, Manta has partnered with renowned creator Leeanne M. Krecic, known for Let’s Play, to soon launch a new romantasy series titled Dragon King Oath.
