Sonic the Hedgehog fans, get ready. A brand-new manga for the Blue Blur has been announced and it’s set to launch in Japan very soon.
Sonic the Hedgehog will be a star of a new manga series, and it’s kicking off in the next issue of CoroCoro magazine. This manga is being created by Yuki Imada and it will be an original adventure. It appears this manga was spurred on by the success of last year’s Sonic x Shadow Generations adaption.
The first episode of this grand adventure is a 60-page special edition, which is unusually long for a debut chapter. This might reflect the strong reception of the Shadow the Hedgehog manga, which was released monthly to celebrate and promote Sonic X Shadow Generations.
In addition to the release, CoroCoro issued a statement in both Japanese and English, asking readers to refrain from posting scans and screenshots of the manga online. Most notably, they also confirmed that the company is looking into ways to distribute both Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic and the Blade of Courage overseas:
This is welcome news for international fans, as the Shadow the Hedgehog manga has remained exclusive to Japan, with limited access outside of fan translations. An official overseas release of both series would be a major win for fans eager to enjoy a solid adaptation of Shadow Generations and this brand-new Sonic adventure.
