Earlier this week on Sunday, Highschool DxD writer Ichiei Ishibumi announced on his official Twitter account that his light novel series titled
The Fallen Dog God -Slashdog- will be receiving a manga adaptation at the end of this year! The manga adaptation will be launching in
Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Alive magazine on December 26th! It has also been announced that Kikurage, the illustrator of the light novel series, will also be drawing for the manga.
Here is the official tweet from Ichiei announcing the news:
Ishibumi originally wrote the first volume of the story in 2006, before his more popular
High School DxD series took off, back then the novel was then titled
Slash/Dog. That series did not last long and only received one volume, then later on Ishibumi revived the series with a new first volume in November 2017, with the new title of
Daten no Inugami -Slashdog- High School DxD Universe. It has been going strong as Kadokawa published the third volume for the series last December.
The Fallen Dog God -Slashdog- is in the same universe as
High School DxD, but is a prequel and is set years before the events of that series. The story is described as:
The Fallen Dog God -Slashdog- Synopsis: Tobio Ikuse is a high school student that is reeling from an incident that caused the disappearance of his childhood friends. One day, he is attacked by beings known as "Utsusemi," but is rescued by Natsume, one of his missing friends. Together with Natsume and another girl named Vali, he races to find out the cause of his friends' disappearance.
