The highly anticipated manga adaptation of Atlus' Metaphor: ReFantazio has arrived! The first chapter is now available to read for free on MANGA Plus.
Experience Will's Journey in Manga Form
Atlus collaborated with Shueisha, publishing the manga illustrated by Yōichi Amano (known for Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden and Stealth Symphony). While faithful to the spirit of the game, the manga takes creative liberties, altering the initial storyline. Key differences include a revised opening sequence, new events, restructured encounters with allies, and the official confirmation of 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.
