Welcome to the land of Britannia, a picturesque country ruled by the benevolent King Lyonnesse - Or at least it was, until the king's guard assassinated him and started a full-blown Holy War! Now the king's only daughter Elizabeth must seek the aid of the dreaded warriors the Seven Deadly Sins. Wrongly framed and sent into exile, they're now the princess's only hope to free the kingdom from the grip of the villainous Holy Knights! The Seven Deadly Sins is a fantasy manga series by Nakaba Suzuki. It features a setting similar to the European Middle Ages, with its titular group of knights representing the seven deadly sins. Manga are graphic novels originating from Japan. The term is used in Japan to refer to both comics and cartooning. Outside of Japan, the word is typically used to refer to comics originally published in the country.
