Elden Ring: the video game adapted in manga, but it will be humorous

With its 16,6 million copies sold, Elden Ring has become a phenomenon, even beyond video games. A success on which many are ready to surf, whatever the cost to use an expression now known. The publisher Mana Books, which has already worked with FromSoftware for the creation of artbooks on Dark Souls and Sekiro a few years ago, announces the arrival of the official Elden Ring manga. It was Nikiichi Tobita, mangaka known for Shinobi Gataki and MONSTER × MONSTER, who was responsible for transposing the game universe on paper, taking quite the opposite course, however. We learn that it will be a humorous story, but directly related to Elden Ring. This means that we will find all the lore, with its characters, creatures and bosses, but under a different prism. 

 

In the dark and dangerous world of the Underworld, the illustrious Circle of Elden, the vital source of the World Tree, was shattered. After the Night of the Black Knives and the Shattering, the long-lost Grace is heard again.

Our story begins with the awakening of a young man with amnesia, dressed in simple underwear. The latter is helped by a mysterious young woman, Melina, who invites him to follow her advice to reach the World Tree and fulfill his destiny. Given the capabilities of this Shinless, the path looks much more complicated than expected...

 

The Elden Ring manga will benefit from simultrad, which was a sine qua non for the implementation of this project, the idea being to counter piracy as much as possible. A translation, lettering and proofreading team will be set up to adapt the Japanese version in record time. Moreover, it is specified that the chapters in French version will leave 24 to 72 hours maximum after the Japanese version and the first three chapters will be available free during 6 months.
