Fate Series

https://manga-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=158197&ref=blog

The Fate series is a PC game released by TYPE-MOON in 2004! It was originally distributed as a doujin work at Comiket and other events. It gradually gained popularity and buzz. Then in 2015, the mobile game “Fate/Grand Order” was released!

This Fate/Grand Order is now a huge hit and has become a popular content with over 300 total characters! If you want to learn about the Fate Series in manga form, you should read either Fate/stay night, the origin of the series.

●Fate/stay night, the starting point of all Fate series

Alternatively, we recommend checking out the contents of a series of comic book adaptations of the main storyline of Fate/Grand Order!

Blue Archive

Blue Archive is a mobile game operated by Yostar! The genre is simulation RPG. The player becomes a teacher in the otherworldly school city of Kivotos and solves problems together with the students who live there in the story!

Kivotos has a variety of schools, clubs and students! Various problems are happening day and night there! The main story of the game pursues the mystery behind Kivotos and why the player decided to come to Kivotos. Many of the manga currently being comicalized are spin-offs that depict the daily lives of the unique characters.

No details have been announced yet, but an anime adaptation project is in the works, so check it out along with the manga version!

Azur Lane

https://manga-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=68268&ref=blog

Azur Lane is a mobile game operated by Yostar!

Yostar is impressive! The game is a nurturing simulation and shooting game that began service in 2017, and the characters in the game are girls who are anthropomorphic versions of famous warships from history! In the game, the main storyline is about a confrontation with the Sirens, a mysterious force that rules the seas!

Want to know the story of Azur Lane in manga version? If so, we recommend Azur Lane The Animation: Anata no Aoki Kouro ni Shukufuku wo, which is a comic adaptation of the anime version of the story! This series is a comic adaptation of the animated story in several volumes, so it is a manga that gives you a basic understanding of Azur Lane, including the worldview and typical characters!

Touhou Project

Touhou Project is a bullet hell shooting game created by Team Shanghai Alice!

Originally distributed by Team Shanghai Alice as part of their doujin works on Comiket and other sites, each new release has attracted attention for its distinctive music, cute characters, and fun shooting gameplay, and has become a very popular title!

https://manga-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=85423&ref=blog

I am very sorry, but Touhou Project basically does not have a main storyline! So, there is no manga that I can strongly recommend to you. Each game we release is like an omnibus, in which the main characters go to a place where a mysterious incident is happening and try to solve the cause. Therefore, we recommend that you read the Touhou Project manga titles that have the characters you are interested in on the cover!

Vtuber(hololive&NIJISANJI)

One genre that has been growing in the number of Doujinshi on Comiket recently is the Virtual Youtuber! Virtual Youtubers are people who use 2D or 3D avatars and stream their activities on various websites!

Especially popular ones are hololive and NIJISANJI Project, both of which operate as companies! Since the content does not have a story like manga or anime, the manga often comically depicts the daily lives of each distributor!

Kantai Collection -Kan Colle-

https://manga-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=57210&ref=blog

Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- is a nurturing simulation game run by DMM Games! The game has been in operation since 2013, and this year marks its 10th anniversary! This game, along with Touken Ranbu and others, is the work that set the trend for anthropomorphic games!

The main story of the game is about a group of girls, called Kanmusu, who inherit the souls of historic vessels and take back the seas that have been taken over by the enemy! However, at this time, there is no manga to follow the main storyline. Let's pick a manga that you feel like following the episodes of the characters you are interested in!

THE IDOLM@STER

https://manga-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=57801&ref=blog

A large and well-known genre in Comiket's decades-long history is THE IDOLM@STER. Don't forget to check this one out as well! Players become producers and support new idols who aspire to become top idols!

https://manga-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=163564&ref=blog

For those who want to know what kind of work IDOLM@STER is now, we recommend THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE! which is scheduled to be made into an anime within 2023 (the anime airing will probably start in October 2023)!

https://manga-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=163564&ref=blog

The series has quite a long history, so you may not know where to start reading, but if you want to start with THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE, this is the series for you!

We invite you to experience what the charm of this classic idol training game is all about in the manga version!

Okay! That is all for today! I will see you in the next article!

Have a good day!
