ReFantazio Manga's Debut Chapter Unveiled

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.

Critical Acclaim for Metaphor: ReFantazio

Developed by Studio Zero, led by Katsura Hashino (the mind behind the Persona series), Metaphor: ReFantazio follows protagonist Will and his fairy companion, Gallica, as they embark on a quest to save the prince of Euchronia. The assassination of the king throws the kingdom into turmoil, leading to a unique succession plan: a leader chosen by the people. Will finds himself thrust into a larger-than-life adventure.

The game achieved phenomenal success, selling over one million copies globally on its launch day, surpassing even Persona 3: Reload's record. It garnered widespread critical praise, winning numerous awards, including Best RPG, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative at the 2024 Game Awards.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S.
