MARS, Fuyumi Soryo's classic shojo manga about a motorcycle-riding model named Rei and a wounded girl named Kira, has been released as a 30th-anniversary hardcover edition in the US. The original 15 volumes have been recompiled into 8, with a new translation and new cover art.

The sight of Rei on a motorcycle tells readers, even without technical knowledge, that this is someone who cannot remain still. Meeting that image again through new cover art and a new translation is exciting, although I also want to compare the wording with the earlier edition. This feels like a thoughtful way to reopen a classic for today’s readers. Accurately naming Rei, Kira and the creator is also a basic responsibility when introducing the reissue.
