Some days ago, it was announced through a Famitsu article the release of a manga based on Elden Ring, the successful action RPG by From Software. While we are not surprised that this IP is growing outside video games, what for sure caught our attention is that the official manga called ELDEN RING: The Road to the Erdtree is a comedy series.
You read that one right, this gag manga will share a unique interpretation of the world of the Elden Ring. This adaptation is the responsibility of manga artist Nikiichi Tobita better known for works such as How I Stalked Some Dude with an Exposed Nipple and Stumbled Upon the Zenithian Sword and A Cursed Sword's Daily Life… Let’s say he is a great fit for this one.
This may be for you!
If we are honest with you, this dark-fantasy comedic take will likely appeal to fans of the game, with a protagonist who seems to be just as confused about the Lands Between as many new players do.
According to its official description: Aseo, a poor, Tarnished wretch, finds himself cast out into Limgrave—naked, penniless, hopeless, and maidenless. His only hope in his harsh, unforgiving new home is a mysterious woman named Melina. She urges him to follow the guidance of grace to the Erdtree that looms over the Lands Between. But it won't be an easy road; a cast of colorful characters awaits Aseo along the way—Patches the Untethered, Blaidd the Half-Wolf, Margit the Fell Omen, Godrick the Grafted, and of course, Ranni the Witch… With little but a loincloth between Aseo and certain death, he strikes out for the first stop on his quest: Stormveil Castle. Will he make it there, or will his journey end before it even begins?
Fortunately, an English version is already available on ComicWalker, so don't waste any time and go check it out; new issues are scheduled to be released on the 4th and 19th of every month.
