Tokyopop Announces Devil May Cry
TOKYOPOP Turns CAPCOM®'s Devil May Cry® 3 Into an All-New Manga In Stores October 2005
Los Angeles, CA (July 3, 2005) – TOKYOPOP is proud to announce the all-new Devil May Cry™ 3 manga, an inventive project based on the immensely popular and stylish Devil May Cry® videogame series from CAPCOM. Created by Suguro Chayamachi, author of Aza and Aka no Genyuugi, the Devil May Cry 3 manga is an action-packed adventure that pits good against evil...and brother against brother! For anyone who has ever enjoyed the game series but wanted to explore the world further, the Devil May Cry 3 manga provides an exciting opportunity to delve into the secrets of the gothic world of the Devil May Cry world.
Devil May Cry 3 tells the story of Dante, a Demon Slayer and bounty hunter with a demon heritage that haunts his past. He's currently unemployed--and bored to death. Opportunity knocks in the form of a missing-child case, which his friend and manager, Enzo, offers him. But a four-million-dollar reward, an unexpected demon attack and a little girl named Alice all conspire to send Dante through the looking glass on a nightmarish adventure beyond his wildest imagination.
“Being connected with such a massively popular game franchise as Devil May Cry is a great opportunity in and of itself, but what writer/artist Suguro Chayamachi brings to the table really elevates this manga to a whole different level,” said TOKYOPOP editor Bryce Coleman. “Chayamachi-san takes the established characters and themes of the game and runs with them, creating a creepy, suspenseful action yarn.” Coleman continues, “One of the aspects I love about the game is that it's very horror-noir, and Chayamachi's art nails that vibe perfectly, with a very moody, monochromatic style.”
TOKYOPOP's Devil May Cry 3 graphic novel will be available in bookstores nationwide in October 2005.
