Here’s the official reveal. It features a traditional Minecraft protagonist named Nico as he deals with the threats in the world, like zombies, and attempts to flourish and survive. 

This manga actually kicked off quite a while ago. It debuted in CoroCoro Comic back in April 2020. 

The manga is by Kazuyoshi Seto. The mangaka is only responsible for it and one other work so far, Namenna yo! Nameneko Matakichi Saikyou Densetsu. Neither appeared in English until now.

This comes as Minecraft hits its 15th anniversary. A number of sales on the original game and its spin-offs appeared to honor the occasion. Netflix announced an animated series from WildBrain. There’s also an upcoming movie based on the property, which is currently in development.

Minecraft: The Manga will launch in English in Spring 2025. The game is available on the New 3DS, PS3, PS4, Switch, Vita, Xbox One, Wii U, PC, and mobile devices. The current anniversary sale on games will run until June 5, 2024.
