The Legend of Chun Hyang (新・春香伝, Shin Shunkaden) is a manga by Clamp. Its story and characters are loosely based on a well known Korean folktale of the same name. Shin Shunkaden was first published in 1996 by Hakusensha in Japan. TOKYOPOP licensed the manga in English as The Legend of Chun Hyang. The project was dropped after only a few chapters, though a recent interview has stated that Clamp would like to finish the work in the future.
The story follows Chun Hyang, the spirited, beautiful, yet headstrong daughter of a mudang in a Korean village. A master of martial arts, Chun Hyang rises to the occasion when the Ryanban, a tyrannical warlord, takes control of her village and tries to kidnap one of her friends.despite Chun Hyang's bold nature and formidable abilities, there is little hope of freeing her village unless the Amenosa, a secret Korean government agent, arrives and catches the Ryanban in the act of abusing his powers.
When Mong Ryong, a somewhat lecherous but enchantingly handome young man appears(whom had fallen heads over heels into love with Chun Hyang...), Chun Hyang reluctantly accepts his help to rescue her mother, who has been captured by the Yanban.
Chun Hyang (also known as Chun'yan), appears in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle in the Country of Koryo. Her name means "spring fragrance".
