Tales of Zestiria Comic Anthology

The Tales of Zestiria Comic Anthology was released in Japan following the 2015 debut of the original role-playing game developed by Bandai Namco Studios. These anthologies are a staple of the Japanese gaming industry, created to extend the life of a title by commissioning a variety of manga artists and illustrators to reimagine the game’s characters and narrative world through short, humorous, or alternative-perspective vignettes.

This specific volume features contributions from Rikou, among other artists, who sought to capture the distinct personalities of Sorey, Mikleo, and the rest of the Seraphim cast. The collection was designed as a lighthearted companion piece for dedicated fans, emphasizing character interactions and comedic situational humor that contrasted with the more serious tone of the game's main story. It was received by the community as a supplemental collectible meant to deepen the connection between the player and the game's ensemble.
