One Thousand and One Nights is a Korean manhwa written by Jeon Jin-seok and illustrated by Han Seung-he. It is a different take on the events of the original One Thousand and One Nights story, where the main character Shahrazad dresses up like a woman to take his sister's place in the sultan's harem. Three volumes have been published in English so far.
Plot Overview
Shahrazad, a young scholar, joins the mad sultan's harem in place of his sister, Dunya. Each night the sultan rapes a virgin, and at daybreak he beheads her. When the sultan discovers Shahrazad is in fact a man, Sharazad agrees to tell him a story. If he does not enjoy it, he will be free to kill him by daybreak. Over the course of the story the reader discovers what caused the sultan to go mad and kill the girls in his harem.
