Under the Oak Tree: Volume 4 (The Comic)

New acquaintances, old insecurities, and war brewing on the horizon . . . The fourth volume of the official webcomic based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Suji Kim.

Spring is finally here, and so is the most important guest Maxi has ever hosted: Agnes Drachina Reuben, the princess of Wedon and the renowned sorceress who fought by Riftan’s side during the Dragon Campaign. Knowing that Riftan and Agnes were once widely expected to marry, Maxi can’t help but feel anxious and wary around the beautiful and talented princess.

But rumored old flames soon become the least of Maxi’s worries, because monsters are still on the move in a large-scale migration across the continent. As the Remdragon Knights prepare for a possible call to action, Maxi resumes her magic studies and finds herself daring to hope: Will Riftan and the knights finally acknowledge her abilities and take her on their next campaign?

This volume collects episodes 65–85 of Under the Oak Tree, the #1 webcomic on MANTA.
