About the series
Princess Ai, a three-issue series from Fumax in 2006–2007, adapts the manga-inspired story of a mysterious, winged young woman who awakens in modern-day Tokyo with no memory of her past. Created by writer Misaho Kujiradou and artist Ai Yazawa, with story by Courtney Love, the series blends music, romance, and fantasy as Ai navigates a world of rock stars and hidden identities. Though brief, it stands out for its unique cross-cultural creative team and its fusion of Japanese manga aesthetics with Western pop sensibility.
