Something tells me that this'll be a long manga or a short manga that takes a long while.

Darn, I wanted to put this on my Christmas list...

I love that cover.

Yeah, sucks :c

I’m thinking long. Amano is taking his time with this so there are a lot of small chapters. I don’t think it’ll be as long as the KH2 manga, though.

I could see it being at least as long as KH2, but without the mid-series break Amano took to make Days’ manga. We’ll see if how long that takes in the long run.

Same TTwTT
Also, I just noticed, if they wanted to wait 6 more days, they could release this on the game’s 20th Anniversary. Personally, I wish it came out sooner but it’s nice to see it release on the anniversary month

Does anyone know where I can see the online postings of the chapters? I was buying them on Amazon until they lost the rights for some reason, and I have no idea where the Japanese ones are posted.

You can find the Japanese chapters on the Gangan Online website.

Much like VIZ’s Shonen Jump app, you’d probably need a subscription to it to see the other chapters, but you can see the first two chapters(0 and 1) and whatever the latest chapter is at the moment. At the time of this post, it’s chapter 19

I wonder why there's such a long turnaround. Volume 2 has been published for several months now in Japan, and all of the chapters are available in English digitally. Maybe production shortages?

But also, BBS-adjacent manga in print at last. And that cover is siiick~

I think it has to do with their work on publishing the novel collection…that and maybe they figured timing it close to the anniversary would help generate more sales.
