Crystal Dragon (Japanese: クリスタル☆ドラゴン, Hepburn: Kurisutaru Doragon) is a Japanese historical fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Yuuho Ashibe. Set in Ireland and Roman Britain, the story follows a black-haired girl named Arianrhod and her fight against Balor Evil-Eye, the Gothic warlord who destroyed her home tribe. Joining her in the fight are Henruda, the daughter of a Celtic chieftain, and Legion, the Silver Knight. Crystal Dragon began serialization in Akita Shoten's monthly shōjo (girls') manga magazine Bonita in 1981, later transferring to its sister magazine Mystery Bonita.[1] The series went on hiatus from 2007 to 2014,[2] during which Ashibe resumed her other long-running manga series, Bride of Deimos.[3] It went on hiatus again in summer 2020 due to unspecified circumstances.[1] In April 2021, Ashibe announced that the series is nearing its climax.[4] Akita Shoten has published 30 tankōbon (compiled volumes) of Crystal Dragon under the Bonita Comics imprint as of November 2020;[5] the company also published 12 bunkoban (paperback novel-sized volumes) under the Akita Bunko imprint from July 2003 to July 2007.[6] Internationally, the series is licensed in Indonesia by Elex Media Komputindo.[citation needed]
