Seven Seas Entertainment Dashes Off to Adventure With Tales of Zestiria Manga License

(LOS ANGELES, October 28, 2016) – Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the Tales of Zestiria manga adaptation.

Based on the popular video game of the same name, and marking the 20th anniversary in the "Tales of..." franchise, Tales of Zestiria is a new ongoing manga series written and drawn by Shiramine, that encapsulates all the adventure, magic, and character relationships of its source material that makes the story such a treasure to its fans.

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 present Tales of Zestiria for the first time in print in North America as single volume editions. Tales of Zestiria Vol. 1 will be released on June 13, 2017 for $12.99 USA / $14.99 CAN.
