{"title":"Princess Knight","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaking place in a medieval European-like fairy tale setting, Princess Knight is the story of Sapphire, who must pretend to be a male prince, so she can inherit the throne of Silverland as women are not eligible to do so. When she is born, her father, the King, announces his baby is a boy instead of a girl. The reason for this is that the next-in-line to the throne, Duke Duralumin, is an evil man who would repress the people if his son, Plastic, were to become king. Duralumin and his henchman Baron Nylon often scheme to take over the kingdom and attempt to prove that Sapphire is really a girl. Sapphire can keep the façade because, when she was born, she received the blue heart of a boy as well as the pink heart of a girl. Because of this, God sent Tink, a young angel-in-training, down to Earth to retrieve Sapphire's extra heart. Sapphire would not let Tink remove her boy's heart, however.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"princess-knight-new-omnibus-edition","title":"Princess Knight New Omnibus Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrincess Knight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/strong\u003eTezuka Osamu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eVertical Comics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08\/16\/2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e9781647291211\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHAVE AT YOU! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Filled with narrow escapes, treacherous courtiers, dashing pirates, meddlesome witches, magical transformations, and cinema-worthy displays of derring-do, this early shojo (girls' comics) masterpiece by the \"Godfather of Manga\" is a fast-paced tale of a heroic princess who can best any man at fencing, yet is delicate and graceful enough to catch the eye of Prince Charming.
