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 the official Metaphor: ReFantazio manga, illustrated by Yōichi Amano (known for Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden and Stealth Symphony). While faithful to the game's core narrative, the manga takes creative liberties, altering the initial storyline. Chapter one features new events and a restructured timeline, including the omission of an early game area and a revised introduction of the protagonist's allies. Importantly, the manga officially confirms the protagonist's name as Will, aligning with the game's default option.
The next chapter is scheduled for release on February 19th, simultaneously with the Japanese version.
Critical Acclaim for Metaphor: ReFantazio
Developed by Studio Zero, led by Katsura Hashino (the creative force behind the Persona series), Metaphor: ReFantazio follows Will and his fairy companion, Gallica, as they embark on a quest to save the prince of Euchronia. The assassination of the king throws the kingdom into turmoil, leading to a unique succession plan: a leader chosen by the people. Will finds himself unexpectedly thrust into this pivotal role.
The game achieved phenomenal success, selling over one million copies globally on its launch day, surpassing even Persona 3: Reload's record. It garnered widespread critical praise, earning prestigious awards including Best RPG, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative at the 2024 Game Awards.
