Drag-On Dragoon: Shi ni Itaru Aka
DRAG-ON DRAGOON 死ニ至ル赤
Synopsis
Drakengard prequel manga follows One and Nero hunting Red Eye disease across Midgard's past tragedies.
The manga serves as a prequel to the original Drakengard, divided into two distinct time periods. In the first portion, set three years before the main game, a mysterious warrior known as One journeys across the war-torn land of Midgard alongside his elven companion Nero. Their mission involves hunting down those afflicted by the devastating Red Eye disease, a mysterious plague that transforms its victims into violent, uncontrollable beings. Their quest leads them into conflict with powerful forces that threaten the realm's stability. The second portion flashes back six years before the original Drakengard, focusing on a pivotal day in the kingdom of Caerleon. As the Red Eye disease begins its insidious spread through the population, the story explores how this mysterious plague first took root and the chaos it unleashed upon the land. These events would ultimately shape the dark and tragic world that players would later experience in Drakengard.
