Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō

In this 2018–2023 manga series from Seven Seas Entertainment, Chimaki Kuori reimagines the classic Saint Seiya mythos through a female-led lens, following a new generation of warrior maidens known as the Saintias. Set during the same era as the original story, the series focuses on Shō, a young girl who becomes the Saintia of Sagitta, as she and her fellow Saintias confront divine threats that challenge their bonds and destinies. With Kuori’s delicate, expressive artwork and a focus on character-driven drama, Saintia Shō expands the Saint Seiya universe by centering its female warriors in a saga of cosmic conflict and personal growth. This 16-issue run stands as a distinctive, heartfelt addition to the franchise, offering a fresh perspective for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
