Sand Chronicles (Japanese: 砂時計, Hepburn: Sunadokei, lit. "Hourglass") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hinako Ashihara. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Betsucomi magazine from the May 2003 issue (released in April) to the July 2006 issue (released in June).[2][3][4] Shogakukan collected the individual chapters into 10 bound volumes from August 2003 to August 2006.[5][6] The series won the 50th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōjo category in 2005.[7][8]
Viz Media licensed the manga for an English-language release in North America, first serialized in their Shojo Beat magazine in 2007 and later published in ten print volumes from January 2008 to January 2011.[9][10][11] The manga is also licensed by Kana in France and by Planet Manga in Germany.[12][13]
In 2007, Sand Chronicles inspired a live-action Japanese television drama series which aired during the half-hour Love Theatre time-slot on TBS.[14] In 2008, the manga was adapted into a live-action Japanese feature film directed by Shinsuke Sato, starring Kaho and Nao Matsushita as the main character Ann during different stages of her life.[15]
