Hey, it’s much better than I expected…
After the last few weeks, it seems that the panorama is quite wide for Elden Ring. Although it certainly had a decline after the initial experience after its launch, FromSoftware has followed its users’ feedback very closely. Of course, among the observations, a question that has arisen is “now what next? Where can I find out more about the story? Because of this, an official Elden Ring manga has been released by Kadokawa.with characters like Melina, Radahn and Malenia, but instead of following a deep and dark story similar to the game, the comic is actually a comedy.
Fortunately, for Elden Ring fans around the world, the manga is available for free online in 12 languages through the site of Comic-Walker and is published by From Software’s parent company, Kadokawa. Follow Aseo, a wretched Tarnished (Elden Ring’s naked starting character) as he navigates the weird and wonderful world of The Lands Between. If you are a fan of the involuntary humor of Miyazaki Hidetaka, it is a work that you must read yes or yes
While there are only two chapters available now, the manga will evolve over time with the release of new episodes on the 4th and 19th of each month. It seems that, at least, it will not be a short work and could become a “guided tour” of the world created by From Software. This manga is written by Nikiichi Tobita, the artist behind another joke manga called A Cursed Sword’s Daily Life, but follows the same tradition and stories established by the franchise.
But, you may be wondering, “If I already played Elden Ring, should I read this manga?” The short answer is yes, because it enriches some established story points. But, in a longer answer, the manga created by Nikiichi Tobita is a fun adventure through this desolate world. By itself it is a great comedy that deserves to be read, but if you still have doubts, you may be interested in reading on
What is the Elden Ring manga about?
According to the synopsis shared by Comic-Walker and Kadokawa, the story of the Elden Ring manga is as follows: “Toilet, a poor tarnished wretch, finds himself thrown into Limgrave, naked, penniless, hopeless, and maidenless.” says the official plot synopsis. “His only hope in his harsh and unforgiving new home is a mysterious woman named Melina. She urges him to follow grace’s guidance to the Erdtree that looms over the Midlands. But it won’t be an easy road.” , our first great contact is with her.
“A cast of colorful characters awaits Aseo on the road: Patches the Untethered, Blaidd the Half-Wolf, Margit the Fell Omen, Godrick the Grafted and, of course, Ranni the Witch. With little more than a loincloth between Aseo and a certain death, he sets out on the first stop on his quest: Stormveil Castle. Will he get there, or will his journey be over before it begins?
Elden Ring has proven to be a cultural phenomenon since its launch in February., and players find many different ways to interact with the game. And what’s more, in a way, it could be said that the extensive amount of infographics, comments and reflections about the game has kept it quite solid critics and the general public during the last discussions about its content.
Even in the future, this sea of emotions will surely continue to provide different perspectives on the gameplay, the characters and the occasional surprise that From Software has hidden in the interiors of its world. Although, of course, there are still many doubts, concerns and curiosities on the part of the players, as we recently saw the discovery of the lyrics of their music that seemed to belong to Latin, but are actually generated automatically by a computer. Until now there must be much to explore in the Lands to understand the secrets behind their characters and maybe make some connections within the game itself. And this manga can be an interesting path to it.
