Encyclopedia : L : LE : LEG : Legend of Chun Hyang
is a manga by CLAMP. Its story and characters are loosely based on a well known Korean folktale of the same name. Shin Shunkaden was first published in 1996 by Hakusensha in Japan. TOKYOPOP licensed the manga in English as The Legend of Chun Hyang. The project was dropped after only a few chapters.The story follows Chun Hyang, the spirited and headstrong daughter of a sorceress in a Korean village. A master of martial arts, Chun Hyang rises to the occasion when the Ryanban, a tyrannical warlord, takes control of her village and tries to kidnap one of her friends. Despite Chun Hyang's bold nature and formidable abilities, there is little hope of freeing her village unless the Amenosa, a secret Korean government agent, arrives and catches the Ryanban in the act of abusing his powers.
When Mong Ryong, a somewhat lecherous young man appears, Chun Hyang reluctantly accepts his help to rescue her mother, who has been captured by the Ryanban.
Chun Hyang (also known as Chun'yan), appears in in the Country of Koryo. Her name means "spring fragrance".
