Arion (アリオン) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, published in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Comic Ryū from March 1979 to September 1984. The manga's 28 individual chapters were collected into 5 tankōbon volumes. It is the official debut of Yasuhiko as a mangaka. The story follows Arion, a young man kidnapped by Hades as a child and raised to believe that his mother was blinded by Zeus and that killing the ruler of Mount Olympus will cure her.[1]
An anime feature film adaptation, directed by Yasuhiko and co-written with Akiko Tanaka, was released in 1986 under the title Neo Heroic Fantasia: Arion (ネオ・ヒロイック・ファンタジア アリオン).[2]
