CMX. One of the most famous and lauded shojo manga ever published,
SWAN is Ariyoshi Kyoko's best-selling classic about a girl who strives to become
a great ballerina.
Meet Hijiri Masumi, a 16-year-old about to enter her first ballet contest. The competition is fierce, and there's no telling whether she'll win, or how far her training can take her. But the great director Alexej Sergeiev invites her to join his company, and she launches her career - spending years dancing in the shadow of prima ballerina Kyogoku Sayoko. Masumi's journey takes her on a tour of the great ballet companies of Europe and America through triumph and despair as she struggles toward her goal of becoming the greatest dancer of her generation!
