A new Code Geass Manga for 2010!
Edit: HQ version here!
The January issue of Kadokawa Shoten's magazine is announcing on Thursday that Tomomasa Takuma Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, Kurogane Communication is drawing a manga that is tentatively titled like: Code Geass - Shikkoku no Renya, Code Geass - Jet-Black Renya or, Code Geass - Renya of the Blackness. This will be serializing in the monthly magazine, Shonen Ace the next year.Goro Taniguchi, the director and story co-creator of the original Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion TV animation, created the new manga's story concepts and is scripting the story. This is the first manga that Taniguchi is directly scripting himself.
The story takes place in the same official Code Geass history as the anime, but in a different era. The title character, Renya, is a 17-year-old boy with a mechanical left arm and throwing stars as his weapons of choice. The story begins when Renya encounters a mysterious, perpetually young witch named "Reifū C.C." C.C. has appeared in Japan's historical Edo era to seek a new partner for a covenant. Meanwhile, a mysterious man, with a striking resemblance to the character Lelouch of the original anime, also appears with unknown intentions.
The new manga is part of next year's new Code Geass project launch. Code Geass producer Yoshitaka Kawaguchi revealed on the franchise's website that the new project will feature the simultaneous releases of serialized comics, music, new products under development, and visual works.
Soo YES!!!! for those who didn't believe it here is another prof! XD
To me, this manga seems to feature part of C.C past. Stuff which always was mysterious and hidden in the official CG animé (not the mangas, which has some differents stories about CC). Maybe the opportunity to know where the geass comes from! Obviously, it's after C.C became a immortal (remember CG R2 episode when we see part of CC past: that mad nun who gave her the geass and used her to get killed x_x or something like that - NT: watch CG again ò_ó after my final exams lol) but yet the probability remains.
Respect to that character which is similar to Lulu WTH!? I ahve not idea what to think :S. If really is a lulu we should DO speak about and alternative universe in a past era and not part of the CC past :S. However, we still need to corroborate that xD. Perhaps another of the motive she searched lulu was she resemble some old "fiend" cough cough of hers? LOL hahahaha.
Nonetheless, the manga will be part of Code Geass History, the anime will go on featuring Lelouch story or, at less, that seems to be. The creator want to make a good animation that have the same exit that the origianl serie so, they will think it carefully XD.
i'll be with the eyes open to catch whatever image/scan or more info about this ò_ò.
