A new manga series launched last year of interest to a good number of fans with Lovers in Scarlet, known originally as Hi no Tsugai. The property comes from creator Chiho Saitou and debuted in the August 2024 installment of Monthly Flowers magazine. The series previously brought out its first volume and has its second volume coming up on March 10th, 2025. Which is part of the reason it has now nabbed the 4/2025 cover of the magazine it runs in to do some promotion with new artwork below.
Saitou debuted in 1982 with Ken to Madomoaseru and has a couple of dozen works over the years including the Revolutionary Girl Utena property.
Flowers is a monthly Japanese josei manga magazine published by Shogakukan and issued on the 28th of every month.
Plot Concept: The forbidden tale of interspecies marriage begins, brought to you by Saito Chiho of “Torikaebaya” and “Kaguyaden”!
It is the end of the Heian period. The feisty princess Ruri lived with her father and kind brother, but their peaceful days were shattered by the powerful Heike clan. A man with crimson eyes appears before Ruri, who has escaped from the burning mansion, and says,
“Will you give me your divine will?”
Is this promise love or a curse?
