Being a new student at Avalon High has been exciting for Ellie, to say the least--she's an honor student, a star on the track team, and, oh yeah, dating the super-hot class president, Will. Who also happens to be the alleged reincarnation of King Arthur. Ellie couldn't be happier to have Will in her life, but she's also worried that his estrangement from his parents is tearing him apart. To make matters worse, Will's doubt that he really is King Arthur could prevent the Merlin Prophecy--an age of enlightenment--from occurring. Can Ellie convince Will to believe in something that even she isn't sure about? And more importantly, can she get him to give his parents another chance? With all the mythology and mysticism of Avalon High, Meg Cabot's very first manga is indeed a tale for the ages.If you like a little mythology in your manga, then Avalon High: Coronation is for you. With a First Knight meets Harry Potter feel, Avalon High takes us deep into the promising lives of Ellie and Will, two talented and highly-regarded teenagers at Avalon High. Ellie is an honor student and track star while Will is class president and football legend. But the legend doesn't stop there - the story says that Will is destined for great things. Supposedly, he's the reincarnation of King Arthur himself and can bring about the Age of Elightenment. How's that for a heavy burden to bear?
The problem is, Will doesn't believe it and Ellie... well, Ellie's just not sure. But there's one thing for certain - you'll be lost in the magical tale of romance and mythology before you know it.
Avalon High: Coronation debuts at your favorite manga shelves on June 12, 2007, but you can grab a sneak peek at TOKYOPOP's online manga player.
