The production earned the title of one of the best of 2024, so it's no surprise that expectations for the recently announced manga were also high.

What is the manga Metaphor: ReFantazio about?

After the assassination of the king, The United Kingdom of Euchronia falls into chaos. A tournament begins in the kingdom for the throne of a ruler who many believe has left no heir. However, the story's main character Traveler Will and his Fairy Companion Gallica know that the prince is still alive, but has been cursed. Their task is to remove the curse and restore the rightful ruler, however, to achieve their goal, Will must participate in a tournament for the throne.

The plot, therefore, should largely coincide with what was shown in the game. As in the case of the manga based on Persona games, here, too, the characters and story may be expanded.
