Rei Tōma (Japanese: 藤間麗,Tōma Rei) has been drawing since childhood, but she only began drawing manga because of her graduation project in design school. When she drew a short-story manga, "Help me dentist" (ヘルプ me デンティスト), it attracted a publisher's attention and she made her debut right away. Her magnificent art style became popular, and after she debuted as a manga artist, she became known as an illustrator for novels and video game character designs.

Dawn of the Arcana is her first long-running manga series, and it has been a hit in Japan, selling over a million copies.

Thank you to Eidelweiss and VIZ Media LLC for a digital ARC of this comic.

This was such a good wrap up to the whole series. It had a bit of everything. Romance, a prediction for the future, and closing up some storyline that have been around since the beginning.

I would have liked some areas to have been slowed down and explained a little further, but overall, I really loved this series.

After years this series has ended, one of my favorite historical stories!

It was a nice ending to the series, if a bit anticlimactic

[Rosa Peláez Viñuela · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot believe this series is now over. So sad. Although this was probably my least favorite tome of the whole series. It was not really necessary (in my opinion).
