86 -Eighty-Six- Announced A Dystopian Theme Spin-Off Manga for this July!

We’ve seen many franchises with a dystopian future concept, but only a few know how to portray it correctly. 86-Eighty-Six- is one such series that has beautifully pulled off the execution of such a setting.

It is set amidst a brutal war where a community called the ”86” suffers unimaginable horrors. Although it’s dark, the story is gripping, and the fans just can’t get enough of it.

The 86 -Eighty-Six- franchise announced a four-panel spin-off manga that will begin serialization at the end of July.

Manga artist cotori will be working on the project. It will be published on 86’s official Twitter account. More information regarding the release date, plot, and characters will be announced at a later date.

The whole premise of the series is based in the middle of a war, and the same is expected of the upcoming manga. Therefore, it can either be a prequel or a side story from the present timeline of the series.

The series was originally a light novel series that got an anime adaptation. It became widely popular among fans and received much recognition despite being a mecha anime.

Considering how war-themed mecha anime are not generally well-received, 86 sticks out as the exception. It has a great storyline that isn’t too overwhelming, great animation, and characters you can’t help falling in love with.

There is also a manga of the same name that has been serializing in Square Enix’s Young Gangan magazine since October 2018. In addition to this, three spin-offs namely, 86: Operation High School, 86: Run Through the Battlefront, and 86: Fragmental Neoteny have been going on since 2020 and 2021.

The last episode of the anime ended on a major cliffhanger, and fans have been waiting ever since for the Season 2 release. 

It is a fine gem of a series that every action and mecha lover should watch!
