Lance N' Masques

Youtarou Hanabusa longs for an ordinary life, but his upbringing in the ancient, international Knights of the World makes that nearly impossible. Afflicted with what he calls “White Knight Syndrome,” he can’t help but leap into danger with reflexive chivalry whenever someone needs saving—so he keeps a mask close at hand to hide his face when heroics become unavoidable.

That secret begins to unravel the day he rescues Makio Kidouin, the six-year-old daughter of a wealthy, prestigious family. The encounter pulls Youtarou into a world of privilege that’s anything but normal, as he juggles Makio’s spirited antics alongside a growing circle of eccentric allies and calculating foes. Caught between protection and secrecy, he’s forced to guard Makio while keeping his double life intact as the masked Knight Lancer.
