The Venetian Orphanage

Volume 01 · Shiori Teshirogi

In 1727, in an Italian countryside orphanage, three children grow up bound by an unbreakable friendship: Tenma, an impulsive boy with a heart of gold; Alone, a prodigiously gifted painter of absolute gentleness; and Sasha, a radiant and protective young girl. Their lives are upended the day Alone suddenly disappears, drawn toward a destiny none of them could have imagined.

Tenma, found by his master Lugonis — Knight of Centaurus — learns of his nature as the future Pegasus Knight. Sasha reveals her true identity: she is the reincarnation of Athena, goddess of Wisdom and protector of humanity. The war between the gods is imminent. And Alone, whose pure soul is coveted by Hades himself, is at the center of it all.
