Minecraft, the popular video game that has captured the hearts of millions of players around the world, is expanding its horizons beyond just the digital realm. In addition to the upcoming official movie and TV show, Minecraft will also be making its mark in the world of manga. Yes, you read that right – Minecraft is getting its very own manga series, with an English localization set to be released by VIZ Media next year.
The Minecraft manga, which originally debuted in 2020 in CoroCoro magazine, promises to bring the beloved blocky world of Minecraft to life in a whole new way. The first volume is now available for pre-order on Amazon for $12, with a release date set for March 11, 2025. The official synopsis of the manga suggests that it will stay true to the core elements of the video game, with a focus on exploration, crafting, and battling zombies.
