Steins;Gate 0’s Mangaka Announces New Fantasy Story Based on a Light Novel!

Ready to experience a fantasy world that does not begin with a lame isekai pretense? Rejoice! Steins;Gate 0’s mangaka is about to come out with some heat.

Although Taka Himeno is known for his Steins;Gate 0 manga, his next manga is quite different from what he is known for. Rather than the dark sci-fi route, he has decided to go for a comparatively light-hearted fantasy.

Kadokawa has announced the launch of Taka Himeno’s new manga “Sōzō Renkinjutsushi wa Jiyū o Ōka Suru” in the June Issue of their Young Ace Up magazine.

“#Creative alchemists enjoy freedom”

The manga’s full title is “The Creator Alchemist Extols the Virtues of Freedom: When They Were Chased Out of Their Hometown, They Swore Fealty to the Demon Lord and Created Powerful Magic Items Non-Stop.” 

The manga is based on a light novel series by Sakaki Chizuki, which began serialization in Shōsetsuka ni Narō in July 2020.

The story revolves around Tohru, who is expelled from the kingdom by his father, the duke. His lack of combat skills disgusts his family, due to which he is forced to run away at the age of 13 and survive as an alchemist, something he is very good at.

After his banishment, he allies with the Demon Lord, his father’s adversary. He starts making powerful magical items for him to seek revenge from his father through his skillful alchemy.

Although the plot does not seem striking at first, the decision to stray from the isekai trend gives the series hope for future subversion.

Given Steins;Gate 0’s manga’s beautiful art, the series is sure to deliver in the visual department. Taka Himeno has a skill for adapting good stories, be it a visual novel or a light novel. His previous works speak for themselves, and I can’t think of how this will be any different.

About Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate follows the eccentric and melodramatic Okabe Rintaro, who often calls himself “Hououin Kyouma” – an enthusiastic scientist who runs a lab called the Future Gadget Laboratory with his childhood friend Mayuri and his hacker friend Daru. With the accidental creation of a time leap machine and an encounter with the genius scientist Makise Kurisu, Okabe’s world turns upside down as he clashes with a top-secret evil organization called SERN.
