posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The January 2020 issue of Shogakukan's Ciao magazine announced on Saturday that Nintendo's Animal Crossing (Dōbutsu no Mori) game franchise is inspiring a manga that will premiere in the magazine's February 2020 issue, which ships on December 28. The manga by artist Minori Katō is titled Atsumare Dōbutsu no Mori: Nonbiri Shima Dayori (Gather Animal's Forest: Carefree Island News).
The manga will follow a protagonist named Hana and her struggles on an unpopulated island.
Nintendo will release its Animal Crossing: New Horizons game on March 20, after a delay. The game was originally slated to launch last year.
The most recent main Animal Crossing game, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, shipped for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan in 2012 and in North America in 2013. Nintendo has since released the Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival board game-style Wii U game and the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer 3DS game. The Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp app game launched in November 2017.
