Mark of Erdrick's an interesting choice. A 30 year-old game tie-in isn't something you see picked up for North America often. I know this manga is linked to DQ3, which is getting its HD re-release, but still. Dai was a flop for Viz and that was given a full multi-media push (though, their release of the manga predated some of that). Makes me wonder if that might be in-store for this series, too.

Every time there's a batch of license announcements from Square Enix, I immediately ctrl+F "Talentless Nana" in hopes of a physical manga volumes release. I wonder if there's any hope at all for it.

I was at the reveal event for this at NY Comic Con and they did exactly that. Opened up with a trailer to the game, and went straight into announcing this manga after that. Then mentioning how it's a sequel to DQ3. They also announced DQ1 and 2 HD remakes for 2025 and how it all ties in together, so I think that's how they're going to push it

There's been some speculation that either they're going to take some stuff from the manga and make it canon in the upcoming Erdrick trilogy remakes or that Emblem could be getting an anime adaptation and could be a new multimedia push like Dai was.
But anyway, really glad to see this in English finally. It's been available in Europe in other languages for a while and I'm assuming if SE is doing it themselves maybe it'll have a localization closer to the games with a bit of that Shakespearean flavor with its dialog.

The success (or lack thereof) of Viz's Dai release almost certainly has no bearing on whether or not a Dai sequel will happen. That would primarily come down to how things performed in Japan.

I still can´t belive that The Mark of Erdrick hasn´t gotten a real anime. It´s the best DQ anime or manga, despite only being decent, but it was a hit in Japan and got a lengthy sequel. It´s also connected to a beloved game. You would think that the Adventure of Dai team would have immediately moved over to that but somehow no. The whole thing is a 56 Vol epic but the main series is a manageable 21. An easy 50-52 ep order.
Fun fact. Dai got a tie-in cash grab game for consoles. Not even SQ cares about quality control on a core IP when you have an anime to adapt.
