Overview: Reimei no Arcana (Dawn of the Arcana)
Caesar and Nakaba |
“On that day, I became the enemy’s possession,” Nakaba thought as she stood there, knowing her destiny was to be married for convenience to keep the peace between her country, Senan, and Prince Caesar’s country, Belquat; two neighboring countries on an island.Between the two countries, there has been a constant war for 200 years and Nakaba has become a sacrificial goat for her country despite the discrimination of her red hair and of the sub-person (half-human, half-animal) Loki, who is her only friend and attendant at Caesar’s estranged palace.But what will Nakaba do when she foresees an event pertaining to Prince Caesar’s demise? Will she save him? Or let him die in return to all the hate directed towards her by the people of Belquat?" source: www.mangafox.com
The History of Senan and Belquats:
North is Senan, South is Belquat. On a small island where there are two countries, a calamity began. In 200 years, this war hasn't died out. And there is a strange thing... In these tow countries there is an irregular common feature. The Royal Family who are serving as the current rulers, are just little people boasting about black hair. People with red, blonde or brown hair are commoners. And then there are those who are half beast and half human. They have beast's ears and tails. As sub-people, they are scorned and are forced to work as servants. Sub-people who surpass mankind with thier five senses fight as soldiers on the front line. The South's Belquats is blessed with rich fertile earth. This rich earth boasted of its army. The North's Senan military force was weak because of the freezing winters. The river that flows from the north to the south, tiraus river, gave Belquat a shock to its lifestyle when poison flowed down where the river was dammed in the north. To put an end to the severe war, the two countries' royal families set a marriage contract. A peace treaty was tied together by that marriage contract. That tryout peace didn't last more than five years. And again, that marriage contract has become tied with that unproductive peace treaty. Belquat's second-in-line Prince Caesar, Nakaba's Senan's first-in-line princess, will marry into Caesar's family. This is proof of the peace. To accomplish this, Akage's naturally different princess has been sent to Belquat.
The first time i read this manga, i quickly got hooked to the story. The characters, the story and the drawings are so captivating. I recommend this manga to those who love romantic and fantasy stories.
Main Characters:
Nakaba: The Princess of Senan |
- Nakaba - The princess of Senan and forcibly married to Prince Caesar. A very tough, dependent and lonely girl with fiercing green eyes who was being discriminated because of her red color hair. Since she was young, the only person who's always beside and protecting her is her guardian, Loki. She possessed the power of Arcana (hers is the power of time) where she foresees the past as well as the future.
Caesar: The Prince of Belquat |
- Prince Caesar - The arrogant prince of Belquat. Having a black hair and a loyal blood, he was praised and respected by his vassals and subordinates. At first, he definitely hates Nakaba but as time goes by, he is getting amazed and interested about her. He has an older brother named Cain (a blonde hair guy) which he used to adore when he was young but started to hate him as they grow.
Loki: Nakaba's guardian |
- Loki - a sub-person with an extraordinary power a normal human can't possess. He took good care of Nakaba since they were young and he loved her. Not just a brotherly feeling but it's more than that.
