Orfina (オルフィーナ) is a fantasy manga written and illustrated by Kitsune Tennouji. It was serialized in the Kadokawa Shoten publication Monthly Comic Dragon from its December 1993 to April 2003 issues before the magazine converted to Monthly Dragon Age, where the manga completed its run from the July 2003 to June 2004 issues. It was also published in North America as part of the CMX label of DC Comics.[1] Orfina is based in the medieval times and rated mature due to nudity, language, violence and suggested situation.
A sequel series, Orfina Saga, also authored by Kitsune Tennouji, ran in Monthly Dragon Age from September 2004 to January 2011.
