posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Indonesian publisher Elex Media Komputindo announced on Monday that it has licensed Satoru Matsuba's Devil Survivor manga. It will release the first volume on Wednesday.
The survival action story is set in Tokyo after it has been quarantined, due to demons infiltrating the portable game system "COMP" and attacking people. The story follows a group of young people who are caught in the battles that follow.
Matsuba's Devil Survivor manga began in Shonen Sirius in 2012, and ended on February 26. Kodansha shipped the sixth compiled volume last September. The manga adapts Atlus' 2009 Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor game for Nintendo DS. The original game's designer Suzuhito Yasuda (Yozakura Quartet, Durarara!!) is credited with the original character designs.
The game's sequel, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2, inspired a manga and television anime adaptation.
