There are, in fact, seven Vanadis, named for having each received a powerful weapon from the dragon to individually reign over seven territories. The power of the Vanadis invokes dread and fear from their enemies. An earl in the service of the country of Brune, a young archer by the name of Tigre, experienced the Vandis's power firsthand after being defeated on the battlefield by Ellen. However, Ellen chose to spare his life after witnessing his skills, but in exchange, he is asked to serve her. --- Update: COMPLETE. Now enjoy some notes. - First 12 volumes taken from [this torrent by Jibril](https://nyaa.si/view/929603). - First 5 volumes are only (edited)MTL since they were covered by the anime. If you can't stand MTL-nglish, watch the anime instead. There doesn't seem to be any plan to actually translate those volumes. - There's a good amount of [ruby text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_character) used in the translation, if your reader can't parse it correctly something may look messy. - The series was recently re-published, with brand new (and spicy) illustrations. I was sent the ones for volume 1&2 so I added them as bonus content at the end of the respective volumes. According to [the official page](http://dash.shueisha.co.jp/feature/madansenki/) the story itself is being re-edited into 7 bigger volumes. Who knows, maybe this "reboot" may see an official localization at some point?
