In what is sure to come as welcome news to her legion of fans, award-winning, best-selling digital comics creator Leeanne Krecic has just announced the launch of a brand new series, The Dragon King Oath, set to debut on Manta, a subscription-based digital comics platform, in 2024. The series is set in an elaborate fantasy world featuring (spoilers!) dragons, kings and oaths involving captive princesses. It promises to be a complete departure from her breakout Webtoon workplace romantic comedy, Let’s Play, while offering plenty of the romance, wit, intelligence, plot twists and character interplay that turned that series into one of the medium’s biggest hits.
“Dragon King Oath is a romantic fantasy comic and it leans on the trope of beauty and the beast, but not in the way you think,” said Krecic in an exclusive interview. “People usually associate the female protagonist as beauty. In this case, it’s the other way around. In this world, humans and dragons are periodically at war, so there’s a lot of animosity between the two. Humans have a lot of ugly opinions of dragons which can make them seem very cruel and unforgiving, whereas dragons are immortal; they play the long game and they are peaceful.”
