Manta has officially released Under the Oak Tree: Volume 2 (The Novel), the long-awaited second installment in the print adaptation of Suji Kim’s globally beloved romantasy. The hardcover edition is now available at major bookstores and online retailers, continuing the sweeping story of Lady Maximilian and Sir Riftan that began with the bestselling Volume 1.
While fans dive into the new print release—adapting chapters 77–133 of the original webnovel—the story continues weekly on Manta, the exclusive home of the Under the Oak Tree webcomic. Season 5 is currently ongoing, giving readers a chance to follow Maxi’s emotional and magical journey in real time.
Volume 2 ushers Maxi into her first spring in Anatol, bringing fragile hope, growing magic, and subtle shifts in her marriage as Riftan begins to soften toward her. But peace doesn’t last for long. The sudden arrival of Princess Agnes—powerful sorceress, royal figure, and the woman Maxi once feared could have replaced her—introduces fresh political tension and personal insecurities that threaten her newfound confidence.
The first-edition hardcover is crafted especially for collectors, featuring sprayed edges, patterned endpapers, foil accents, and a ribbon bookmark.
As Manta’s #1 title, Under the Oak Tree continues to anchor the platform’s global popularity. Through its partnership with Inklore Books, Manta is expanding its reach from digital hits to premium print editions while maintaining its commitment to bringing top-tier webcomic and webnovel storytelling to fans worldwide.
