Seven Seas Entertainment to bring over Tales of Zestiria: Michibiki no Toki manga to North America starting June 2017.
Seven Seas Entertainment has just announced that they will be bringing over the official Tales of Zestiria manga to North America in English.
Seven Seas Entertainment summarizes the story as below:
"Sorey is a human boy who has lived all his life in The Divine Forest, side-by-side with heavenly, but secretive creatures known as Seraphim, which includes his best friend Mikleo. While investigating the old ruins near their home for Seraphim lore, they meet a young woman named Alisha, a knight seeking answers to the calamities drawing their world to ruin. Upon learning that the Seraphim may have a connection to the destruction, Sorey decides it’s time to leave The Divine Forest. With Mikleo and Alisha at his side, Sorey will seek out the truth behind the catastrophes—and discover his own hidden powers in the process."
Seven Seas will bring over Tales of Zestiria for the first time in print in North America as single volume editions. Volume 1 will be released on June 13, 2017 for $12.99 USA and $14.99 CAN.
