Hey, so today KING IN LIMBO volume 1 came out, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Full disclosure: I’m the letterer on this manga. Kodansha paid me for that, but not to plug this book, or to gush about it with the editor. This is probably my favorite title I’ve ever worked on. The SF premise is very cool and the sense of place is spot on, but what makes KING IN LIMBO stand out is the multifaceted, layered main character. If you’re into grounded, character-heavy SF and want more comics for mature readers please check it out.

I just got the script and assets for the third and final volume and am so excited to see how it wraps up.

#Also there’s just straight up a morgan freeman cameo in it #the MC embodies the ‘good hearted guy who has done fucked up things’ trope i so love #also the other protag is so scrungly #king in limbo #manga #new releases #limbo the king #science fiction #near future science fiction #ai tanaka #and re: the lettering #i don’t get to flex much on this #so it’s pretty seamless #i just genuinely love this comic

no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

King in Limbo

6 volumes (when complete, volume 1 releases Jan 16, 2024 in English)

Licensed by Kodansha

From the creator of Apple Children of Aeon comes a gripping, six-volume thriller manga about trauma, healing, friendship, and a global conspiracy to keep people sick. A must for fans of suspenseful, complex manga like Naoki Urasawa’s Monster and The Promised Neverland. It’s been eight years since the pandemic in which a deadly sleeping sickness claimed millions of lives. After a serious injury cost him a leg (and, nearly, his life), Petty Officer Adam Garfield retires from active service in the U.S. Navy. But his plan to focus on his family and physical therapy is shattered when he receives secret word that the sleeping sickness has returned, and it’s his job to bring back the mysterious man who helped cure it by diving into people’s memories: a man known by the codename “King.”

Need my fellow Tiger & Bunny warriors to hop on this manga. Please.

Easiest comparison I can make is as if Kotetsu and Barnaby switched ages (or personalities, depending on how you look at it) and were placed in the universe of Pet, but no one knows what Pet is sooo.... Just think corrupt organization where they use powers to alter memories inside people's minds.

Like T&B it has a focus on being heroic and working with a buddy system. The two of them are initially reluctant to work together but they grow closer as the story goes on.

I will say that the story in this one progresses much quicker, but that's to be expected with only 6 volumes. Currently it only has 2 omnibusses out in English (which include 2 volumes a piece) and the last one is expected to drop later this year.

#i havent read the last 2 volumes yet but i have faith in recommending this.#i can only hope its not in vain #posting this on main so my t&b followers/mutuals see this lmao #limbo the king #king in limbo #tedpost

Brief story summary of the new Douman oneshot that I am currently obsessing over. It's about human Douman, and seems to be after he starts heading down the dark path and behaving more like Limbo.

It starts with him hearing about a house on the edge of town where a bird calls and everyone there is so happy and blessed, and they say the bird sings for them and their happiness. Douman goes and visits this house and they welcome him in and say they want to share their happiness and they treat him to food and sake.

He brings up the bird, and they're all like yes its wishing for our happiness! But he says he hears it saying how long are you going to keep ignoring things (How long=itsumade, which is the name of the youkai that shows up later)

He then talks to a girl who was married into the family, and who claims they're oni. She tells him how girls married in would then be killed, then the family would tell their parents how they died without giving any children, and were useless, and basically used that to exploit the family and get gifts and stuff from them.

They then start hearing the bird's cry "Itsumade itsumade" and Douman tells them to listen closely... They hear something coming from the back, though the old lady tries to deny it but everyone is clearly freaked out by it. And then the dead come back and brutally murder the whole family and they come together to form the vengeful spirit Itsumade, which appears in the Taiheiki, a famous Japanese epic.

Douman is quite excited about it and asks if it plans to eat him too. And how when he returns to the capital one day he's going to curse Seimei to death and so he's going to take its rage and resentment. Then its the fight scene, and finally as he leaves the young girl from the beginning asks about if he went there and he said yes and how he had a wonderful meal there and then laughs.

#fgo #fate grand order #Ashiya Douman #eh might as well tag this it might be useful? summarizing 60pg oneshot at 3am lol #Also human Douman uses the same polite speech as his servant self but doesn't have his habit of going mmmmmmmm all the time #I love the image in the opening showing presumably his younger kinder self as well as how he is here and Limbo #also how his outfit looks like the rakshasa king at the end #I was just saying the other day how i'd love to see human Douman's corruption into the cruel person his Servant self is born from #This was such a surprise treat!!!#I was actually drawing him and danzou when i saw my fav LimDan artist retweet the announcement ahaha

Propaganda under the cut. If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!

The King of Limbo:

Ok I mostly submitted this as a joke because a youtube channel I watch sometimes covered this weird game, but it's a very strange and funny way to end a game.
