Arata: The Legend (also known as Arata Kangatari) is a fantasy manga series by Yuu Watase about two boys named Arata who swap places, one from a mythical world where he must pretend to be a princess and the other from modern-day Japan, leading to parallel adventures and conflicts. The story follows the modern-day Arata as he's thrust into the fantasy world, hunted as a traitor, and must awaken powerful god-swords (Hayagami) to survive, while his counterpart in the fantasy world faces his own challenges.
