Detroit: Become Human Is Getting A Manga Spin-off In Japan

Detroit: Become Human is receiving a Japanese manga spin-off and it’s an original story set in Tokyo called “Detroit: Become Human: Tokyo Stories.”

Saruwatari Kazami will write the manga and Moto Sumida will draw it. “Detroit: Become Human is one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. I’m glad to be involved in this,” explains Sumida in a Tweet. This comic will be about androids in Japan and Detroit. I hope you enjoy this.”

According to Famitsu, the story is set in 2038 and focuses on Reina, an android idol. Japan’s positive attitude towards androids is a far cry from the negative sentiment in the United States. Reina is a very popular Japanese character, but people have started to dislike androids since they replaced them in the workforce.

A sentient android from another planet has become rogue. More androids will soon develop human emotions, joining a human girl.

In our Detroit: Become Human review, we said, “Detroit is well worth playing, but it struggles to strike the right balance between giving you freedom of choice and reminding you that it’s all a game in the end. Cage and Quantic Dream are getting closer to nailing this style of game, but it’s obvious that there’s still room to grow.”
