    Swan Knight

    By Fumio Takano. English translation by Sharni Wilson. Cover Art by Kashima.

    As the nineteenth century draws toward its close, King Ludwig II of Bavaria binge-watches television to escape his reality, side-lined by his own advisers. His one wish is to meet Wagner, the mysterious composer pumping out new music and scores of remixes every day.
