posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The September issue of Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine revealed on Tuesday that Yukari Higa will launch a manga adaptation of Irisu's Magical Explorer - Eroge no Yūjin Chara ni Tensei Shita kedo, Game Chishiki Tsukatte Jiyū ni Ikiru (Magical Explorer - I Reincarnated as the Friend Character in a Porn Game, But I Use the Walkthrough in my Brain to Live Free). The manga will launch on Kadokawa's Young Ace Up website this month.
The manga centers on a protagonist who reincarnates into the world of one of his favorite pornographic visual novels, but only as the friend of the protagonist. He uses his knowledge of the game, determining that his new character has one of the greatest magical abilities in the world, and an unparalleled unique skill. He uses his skill as a magic user to live a free life and still be able to charm the game's heroines.
Irisu began serializing the story on the "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" website in February 2018, and the latest update was on August 1. Kadokawa began publishing the story in print novels, beginning with the first volume (seen right) last November. The publisher shipped the third volume on August 1. Noboru Kannatsuki (Goblin Slayer) draws the novel illustrations.
Higa and Ryukishi07 launched the Harem Royale - When the Game Ends (Renai Harem Game Shūryō no Oshirase ga Kuru Koro ni) manga in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in November 2016, and ended it in January 2019. Kodansha published the manga's fourth and final volume in March 2019. Sol Press licensed the manga and released the first volume in January 2019.
