Esports brand G2 announced the launch of a new fantasy action webtoon series titled Red Aura. The online comic series will be released globally in both Japanese and English, with more languages to be announced in the future.
The online comic series is being developed in collaboration with Japanese art director Runbel (Taizai no Mao light novel illustrator) and studio KISAI Entertainment, who have worked on webcomic adaptations of AVATAR: The Last Airbender and The Beginning After the End.
The first five episodes are now available to read in Japanese on WEBTOON’s LINE MANGA service. Episodes will be released weekly, with over 40 episodes in total for the first season. The series’ release on WEBTOON’s English-language platform will be announced at a later date.
The main premise of Red Aura is described, via press release, as:
Red Aura follows the epic journey of heroes whose determination, courage, and unrelenting drive mirror the story of G2 — a decade-long saga defined by ambition, adversity, and triumph. Set in a world of magical nomads with incredible powers that shape the very reality around them, we follow the story of Asa, a young girl from nowhere who dares to dream the biggest dream — to become the greatest Nomad.
