Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Heading to V-Jump

The Metaphor: ReFantazio manga adaptation will reportedly begin serialization on the March 2025 issue of the V Jump magazine. It seems like the new series will be featured on the front cover of the magazine, with the first chapter being 58 pages long and published in color. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

Considering how manga magazine issues naming conventions work, the March 2025 issue where the Metaphor: ReFantazio manga adaptation is expected to start will most likely come out sometime in late January 2025.

Atlus’ Studio Zero originally announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Metaphor: ReFantazio would end up getting a manga adaptation on September 24, 2024, which was prior to the game’s October 11 global release date. Yoichi Amano was announced as the manga artist working behind it, and a newly drawn color illustration of the protagonist and Gallica was shared as well.

Yoichi Amano is well known for his work on the Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden manga, which was published on the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2009. Most recently, Amano worked on the Dragon Quest Treasures: Another Adventure manga adaptation of the 2022 video game.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is readily available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The manga adaptation will reportedly begin on the March 2025 issue of the V Jump magazine.
