Walkure Romanze: The Tale of the Girl Knight

During the Middle Ages, jousting was a fierce duel where knights staked their pride on a single, decisive strike. Though centuries have passed, the tradition endures. In one particular nation, it has evolved from a battlefield contest into a celebrated sport, encouraging everyone—including young women—to train as knights and compete in the arena. Celia is one such aspiring knight. As a child, she experienced her first love upon meeting Takahiro, a talented student of the lance. However, before she could ever speak to him, a devastating jousting accident forced his sudden return to his home country, leaving her feelings unspoken. Years later, Celia has grown into a strong, determined young woman attending Winford Academy, an elite institution dedicated to the art of jousting and knightly training. As the new school year begins, she is stunned to discover Takahiro among the incoming students. Now faced with a second chance, Celia must navigate her lingering emotions while striving to achieve her dream of becoming a true knight. Will she finally find the courage to approach him, or will fate intervene once more? Based on the visual novel by Ricotta, the creators of Princess Lover!, this manga adaptation features artwork by NO. Gomesu.
