More onEdens Zero, Hiro Mashima
Edens Zerois a space adventure and shonen series that Hiro Mashima launched afterFairy Tailended. The series began in 2018 and has 16 volumes out in Japan so far.
Just like withFairy Tail, several characters appearing inEdens Zeroare lookalikes of characters Hiro Mashima used in the past. Some concepts in his works sinceRavelike the Oracion Seis are also back. Lastly, as a space-themed manga, Edens Zeroalso features multiple references to classics such as Leiji Matsumoto’s stories with Captain Harlock or Maetel.
This isn’t surprising considering Hiro Mashima is like pretty much any other mangaka, a huge otaku. He also regularly shares his impressions on games on Twitter. He most notably highly praisedYakuza: Like A Dragonback in 2020.
Edens Zeroalso has both a console and mobile game in development. The console game is a JRPG announced by Konami and shown at Tokyo Game Show 2020 in September of the same year. Keep an eye on theEdens ZeroJapanese Twitter for news.
