Crown (Japanese: クラウン, Hepburn: Kuraun) is a manga series written by Shinji Wada and illustrated by You Higuri. Crown was serialized in the shōjo manga magazine, Princess Gold magazine around 2005. The 14 chapters and 6 volumes were published in Japan, France, Germany and other countries. The first 2 volumes were published in the United States in 2009 by Go! Comi, which officially shut down in May 2010.

Plot

Its main character Mahiro Shinomiya gets kidnapped by two strangers, who turn out to be her lost brother Rem and his friend Jack. With them she also discovers that she's of royal blood and the rightful heiress to the throne of a small (fictional) central-Asian country called "Regalia". This state is currently ruled by the ruthless but extremely influential Fibyura, who is Mahiro's and Rem's father's second wife, who cannot attend to his governmental duties, as he is mortally ill. As it seems impossible to get Mahiro on the throne legally, she and her two allies start a small war against Fibyura's hired troops and notorious military leader "Condor", which endangers everybody involved.
