New Code Geass manga announced: Shikkoku no Renya

New Code Geass manga announced: Shikkoku no Renya photo

Here's your new project. It's called Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya, and it is set in the Edo period. That could be fun.  Manga, it be. Awesome. Well, wait. Before you get too excited, know some details.

  • C.C. is back (good)
  • "unknown man" looks like Lelouch (good, I guess)
  • it will run in Shonen Ace (meh)
  • character named Renya has a mechanical arm that shoots 100 shuriken (What? LOLOLOL)

Shuriken arm? HAHAH! And the guy who looks like Lelouch? He has some kind of "mysterious power." Right.

Better than nothing, I guess. This news has just dropped in the latest issue of Newtype, which you can see parts of above.

serial

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a shuriken shooting mechanical arm. The world has seen more absurd things.

Also, don't forget to mention that the story takes place in old Japan (A.K.A. Edo!)

well atlest my #1 geass girl is in it I get to see more of C.C ass

 
Captain Highwind

ANN seems to think this manga is only part of New Lelouche
 
capncrunch

Does anyone think that they'll have a pizza hut in the Edo period?
 
atunderdogk

@capncrunch, that'd be hilariously awesome if they did pizza temple or something ridiculous to keep that going.

I like the idea so far. And I like its being done by the original co-creator. Gives C.C. more face time to flesh out her character and explain some things. The previous installments were so focused on Lelouch (which was a good thing), that it left a lot of mystery shrouding a lot of the other characters.

I feel like they're kinda doing what .hack did with multiple media all covering different times and perspectives of a linear story. And that was probably what I loved most about that franchise.
 
Marlin Clock

Wow, this is sorta like what I said, just in the wrong part of the world.

Still would rather have it explain the creation of the Holy Brittanian Empire and the Euro Universe.

I really liked CC when I first watched Code Geass, then less so, and the third time I flat out disliked her.

Needs more Orange and Kallen, clearly the awesomest characters.
 
Dan CiTi

What's Shonen Ace?

 
AQua ng

I wonder how many shogi metaphors they'll fit in.
 
Guncannon

I remember when Code Geass was a mecha show...
 
Spinda

This sounds silly and all, but I don't think Edo era Kapan has Knightmare Frame technology...


 
spike17291

well if they can can create robot arms that shoot shuriken in the Edo time period they might be able to make nightmares.
 
Marlin Clock

They said the nightmares didn't come into use until the invasion of Japan.
 
matrixdude

Huh, so they're essentially recycling lelouch's skin with some new character and going to somehow keep a new storyline going even though the world should be in peace? I'm guessing it'll sell good and turn into another anime season.
 
Mikorio

NOOO LELOUCH~

Well the eyes and hair and expression are all very Lelouch-like but I'm not really sure about the shuriken shooting arm... = =||

And C.C. Looks terrible here! WTF's with this art?
 
Shin_Ra

Aw.... no mechs :(
 
Millia Hakumei

I still have yet to read the manga, only have watched the anime.
 
Rank57

I would say samurai swords > mechas, but after reading about the shuriken shooting arm, I would not discard mechas, cyborgs and Pizza Hut, even if this happens in Edo period...
 
killerpickles

More Code Geass is good and all, but needs more Orange.
 
Dan CiTi

Replace mechs with people with weird weapons and magic. Done.

 
Rewarp

@AQua ng. Don't discount Go references. In fact, Go would be a better chess game to describe strategy.
 
mana

meh?
 
JoeyYunko

I hate that !!!
NO MORE LELOUCH !!!
 
Fishcaek-Chan

Well, since it is Code Geass, it automatically has potential~;D
 
B35TFR13ND

As I notice,the start of code geass:lelouch of the rebellion...

It started year 2010 where lelouch and suzaku where threatened by the Britannians,after couple of years,They were grown up and live in different lives,Suzaku is an honorary BRITANNIAn and Lelouch was a Britannian student,

Means that the 3rd season should be More Higher technology than year 2020!

Have a nice day!!!
