VIZ Media expands its bestselling
YU-GI-OH! manga (graphic novel) brand with the forthcoming release of the
newest series in the popular franchise. YU-GI-OH! ZEXAL launches on June 5th
under the company’s SHONEN JUMP imprint, is rated ‘T’ for Teens, and will carry
an MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN. Volume 1 First Editions will also contain a
limited edition collectable YU-GI-OH! trading card.
YU-GI-OH! ZEXAL is based on an original concept by Kazuki Takahashi with story by Shin Yoshida and artwork created by Naohito Miyoshi. The new series takes place in a futuristic city where augmented reality Duels are all the rage. Duelists, using devices called D-Gazers, can interact with their environment and their opponents as never before. With more awesome monsters and unbelievable cards, the future of Yu-Gi-Oh! starts right here! No one loves Dueling more than Yuma Tsukumo, but unfortunately for him, no one is worse at it! This isn’t going to stop Yuma from trying though. When Yuma calls on the memory of his parents during the Duel, a strange being called Astral appears, and the encounter is the start of Yuma’s amazing Duel journey!
“YU-GI-OH! ZEXAL is the successor to YU-GI-OH! 5D’s and takes the art of
Dueling to the next level in this exciting latest saga of the internationally
popular franchise,” says Mike Montesa, Editor. “The manga series, which is
ongoing in Japan, closely follows the YU-GI-OH! ZEXAL animated show currently
airing on North American television on the CW network’s Toonzai animated
program block. With plenty of action and supercharged Duels featuring a colorful
new array of monsters, manga readers won’t want to miss a single adventure as Yuma Tsukumo strives to become a famous champion
and fulfill his destiny!”
Artist/author Kazuki Takahashi
first tried to break into the manga business in 1982, but success eluded him
until YU-GI-OH! debuted in the Japanese Weekly
Shonen Jump magazine in 1996. YU-GI-OH!'s themes of friendship and
fighting, together with Takahashi's weird and imaginative monsters, soon became
enormously successful, spawning a real-world trading card game, video games,
and three popular anime series including the two original YU-GI-OH! series as
well as YU-GI-OH! GX.
