Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Releases First Chapter

The highly anticipated manga adaptation of Atlus' Metaphor: ReFantazio has arrived! The first chapter is now available for free on MANGA Plus.

Experience Will's Journey in Manga Form

Atlus, in collaboration with Shueisha, presents this official manga adaptation 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, significantly altering the initial storyline. Chapter one features new events, restructured sequences, and the omission of certain game areas. Crucially, the protagonist's name is officially confirmed as Will, aligning with the game's default option.

The next chapter is scheduled for release on February 19th, simultaneously with the Japanese version.

A Critical and Commercial Triumph

Developed by Studio Zero, led by Katsura Hashino (the visionary behind the Persona series), Metaphor: ReFantazio follows Will and his fairy companion, Gallica, as they strive to save the prince of Euchronia. The king's assassination plunges the kingdom into turmoil, leading to a unique succession plan: a leader chosen by the people. Will finds himself thrust into this extraordinary situation.

The game's phenomenal success is undeniable. It sold over one million copies globally on its launch day, surpassing even Persona 3: Reload to become Atlus' fastest-selling title. Critical acclaim followed, with 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.
