In surprising news, Nintendo has announced a manga adaptation of the new Switch edition of Fire Emblem Engage.
As Siliconera pointed out, this serialization will make its debut in next month’s Shonen Jump on February 3rd with a prologue issue. After that, chapters will be released on a monthly basis, with the first one due out on March 3rd.
The manga release will feature a male version of Alear, and the manga artist behind this series is Kazurou Kyou – known for series like Himedoll!! and A hopeless host. Fire Emblem fans in Japan will be able to check out this new manga series for free on Weekly Shonen Jump+, with subsequent chapters available for free viewing three weeks after release.
This manga won’t require any knowledge of the game, but we’re sure it will be a much more enjoyable experience if you’ve played the game. It also seems like a great match, considering the title’s lead character designer is known for his previous work on VTuber designs.
It’s also not the first time we’ve seen a Nintendo series adapted into a manga. Games like Splatoon also received the same treatment. Below is a look at some of the scenes from the Fire Emblem Engage manga prologue:
If we hear about a localization, we’ll let you know.
