Leap Link Loop: The New Time Loop Thriller Has Begun!
In the world of manga, stories themed around time travel and tragedy have always garnered great interest. The latest name to join this trend is the talented artist Takuzo. The artist's highly anticipated new series, Leap Link Loop, began its publication on June 26th on the Futabasha publishing house's digital platform, Web Action. Making a splash on social media with its first chapters, the work offers a "time-leap suspense" story that blends drama and tension.
At the center of the story is a protagonist who loses his childhood friend Hina in a tragic accident. Following this painful loss, our hero inexplicably finds himself in the past and decides to interfere with the flow of time to save his loved one. Leap Link Loop is not just a time travel story; it is also a mystery-filled survival struggle where every choice has heavy consequences. Takuzo showcases his mastery in reflecting the emotional depth and desperation of his characters in this series as well.
The series creator, Takuzo, was previously known for his illustrations in more cheerful and romantic comedy-oriented works such as Boku no Kanojo wa Saikou desu! (My Girlfriend is the Best!). However, with Leap Link Loop, we see the artist adopting a much darker and more serious tone. The publisher Futabasha, known as the name behind cult works like Orange and Old Boy, is recognized for its support of series with this kind of psychological depth. This collaboration signals that the manga is pregnant with much more shocking events in future chapters.
The time loop theme has become indispensable for fans of the genre, especially after the global success of series like Tokyo Revengers and Erased (Boku dake ga Inai Machi). Leap Link Loop combines this popular theme with a modern narrative, asking the reader the question, "If you had the chance, what would you change?" The first chapters, currently accessible for free via Web Action, appear to be a strong candidate to enter the top of mystery lovers' reading lists. It is not yet clear when the physical volumes of the series will be released.
