Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Releases First Chapter

Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Chapter 1 Now Available!

Dive into the world of Metaphor: ReFantazio like never before! The first chapter of the official manga adaptation is now available to read for free on MANGA Plus. Atlus and Shueisha have teamed up to bring you this exciting new interpretation, illustrated by the talented Yōichi Amano (known for Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden and Stealth Symphony).

While staying true to the spirit of the game, the manga takes some creative liberties, offering a fresh perspective on the story's opening. Expect to see some differences from the game's plot, including altered events, a new storyline, and changes to how the protagonist meets his allies. One significant revelation: the manga officially confirms the protagonist's name as Will, aligning with the game's default name.

The next chapter is scheduled for release on February 19th, simultaneously launching in Japan and internationally.
