One Peace Books announced today that they are releasing a one-mega volume edition of the classic utopian fantasy manga, The Music of Marie! This fantasy fable merges steampunk, romance, and urgent ethics, altogether creating one of the great literary manga of the 21st century.
One Peace Books describes the series as follows:
Pirito is a utopia protected by the mechanical goddess Marie, who looms large as she orbits the skies above. Down in the factory town of Gil, Pipi’s heart yearns for Kai, but as the only one who can hear Marie’s ever-present music, will he be able to accept Pipi’s affection? Delve into the beginnings of Usamaru Furuya’s soaring fantastical worldview with this masterful, early work from the prolific creator who brought you Lychee Light Club, Genkaku Picasso, No Longer Human, and more! Now collected as one volume, The Music of Marie, a story of sublime love, will pluck at your heartstrings until the very end.
The Music of Marie will feature beautiful colorful inserts and has been carefully hand-lettered. The artwork is said to rival the works of Studio Ghibli!
The Music of Marie is set to launch on May 17!
