Amazing Agent Luna is an original English-language manga series written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir (also authors of Destiny's Hand), with art by Shiei. It is published by Seven Seas Entertainment, and was one of the company's initial titles upon establishment.[1] It is one of their best-selling OEL manga, even placing on the New York Times Manga Best Seller List.[2]
During the original run of the comic, a prequel, titled Amazing Agent Jennifer, was also written by DeFilippis and Weir, but with art done by Kriss Sison. It focuses on Dr. Jennifer Kajiwara, Luna's biological mother, before she became her control agent in the main story.
The story follows Luna, a genetically engineered super-spy created by the US government. Raised in isolation and trained only as a spy, at the age of 15, Luna is assigned to pose as a normal high school girl. Since she never knew real parents or friends, the situation is confusing for her, but she makes friends with Oliver, a skater with a crush on her; and Francesca, a nice girl who used to be friends with Luna's rival. However, she also has to deal with the emotions and events faced by many teenagers, and the fact that the boy she develops a crush on, Jonah, is the son of her main enemy, Count Von Brucken.
