Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Releases First Chapter

The first chapter of the Metaphor: ReFantazio manga adaptation is now available to read for free on MANGA Plus!

Experience Will's Journey in Manga Form

Atlus, in collaboration with Shueisha, has released the official manga adaptation illustrated by Yōichi Amano (known for Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden and Stealth Symphony). This manga takes creative liberties with the game's storyline, altering the initial timeline significantly. The first chapter features the removal of an initial game area, introduces new events, and restructures existing ones, including the protagonist's encounters with allies. Importantly, the manga canonically 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 with the Japanese version.
