The Story of a Man Who Found Himself in Another World While Playing a Game Becomes a Manga: Volume 1 Now Available
If you are interested in the Isekai genre, don't miss this news. The popular novel "I Found Myself in Another World While Playing a Game" (Original title: Game o Shiteiru to Omottara, Kigatsuitara Genjitsu ni Isekai ni Tatteita Otoko no Monogatari) written by Dakimakuran is now meeting readers in manga format. The first volume was released on June 8, 2024 under Kill Time Communication's Valkyrie Comics label.
The story is about an ordinary man who suddenly finds himself in a real other world while playing a game. What he initially thinks is an RPG quickly turns into a survival struggle. The manga, brought to life by Son Yang-ju's illustrations, offers both action and exploration elements. The original author of the novel, Dakimakuran, is known for previous works with similar themes.
Kill Time Communication is a Japanese publisher known especially for light novel and isekai adaptations. Under the Valkyrie Comics series, it had previously featured popular titles such as "The Unwanted Undead Adventurer". This new adaptation offers an exciting alternative for fans of the genre. The first volume of the manga is around 180 pages and printed in standard manga size.
While the Isekai genre has seen a boom in both anime and manga in recent years, this series brings a new breath to the 'waking up in a game' cliché. Readers will experience the funny and tense moments the main character goes through while trying to understand the world, with Son Yang-ju's detailed illustrations. Subsequent volumes of the series are expected to be announced soon. Stay tuned for new chapters!
