![]() Radiant reminds me of and has the freewheeling spirit of Hiro Mashima's wildly popular manga, Fairy Tail. Radiant Graphic Novel Volume 1 introduces a narrative that could indeed be a Japanese-born and bred manga, published in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump or another Japanese shonen manga magazine. However, Radiant is good enough to get published in Japan as manga. I thought that the author's name, “ Tony Valente,” was an odd name for a Japanese manga creator, but I also speculated (to myself) that Tony Valente might be one of those foreign artists working in Japan as a manga artist. ![]() ![]() THE LOWDOWN: I was surprised to learn (via some Google searches) that the Radiant manga was originally a French manga. However, Seth is special, and it will take a special place to train him so that he can reach his ultimate goal, to find and to destroy the mythical Nemesis nest, called “Radiant.” So now, he has to start, but The Artemis Institute seems like a helluva place to learn. He is an apprentice Wizard, and is one of the “ Infected.” Under the guidance of his cruel tutor, Alma, Seth is learning how to use magic (called “ fantasia”) to stop evil creatures known as “ Nemeses” that plague humanity.
