The plague in manga is a specific project that we can look forward to. Those who are not familiar with manga at all often mistakenly think that this medium is exclusively about surreal violent stories. And yet, several manga adaptations focus on topics related to human history or take up the lives of real characters. We remember Arte, a female character who evolves in a series broadcast on wakanim. The story takes place in the time of the Renaissance.
