The Tale of Genji: Dreams at Dawn (あさきゆめみし, Asakiyumemishi) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Waki Yamato. It is a manga version of Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji, following nearly the same plot with some modern adaptation. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōjo manga magazines Mimi and Minmi Excellent from 1979 to 1993, with its chapters collected in 13 tankōbon volumes. The first ten volumes focus on Hikaru Genji and his life, while the final three volumes follow two princes, lord Kaoru and Niou no Miya (Royal Prince with Perfumes) after Hikaru Genji's death.
Kodansha International published four volumes, as part of its bilingual manga program, from 2000 to 2001. Kodansha USA published the manga digitally in ten volumes from 2019 to 2020.
An anime adaptation was scheduled to air on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block starting in January 2009;[2] however, the producer decided to make the anime directly from the original Tale of Genji, calling the new anime Genji Monogatari Sennenki.[3]
The series has sold over 18 million copies.[4]
