Ubisoft (amongst other publishers) will never understand what their audience truly wants.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Ooh interesting, totally want to play the games but a thing called lack-of-money gets in my way so I guess I'll just read this for now. Must go tell all my AC friends!

Wow.... Why A Manga :|

I'll be reading it.
I still have the first edition copies of Assassin's Creed: The Fall Comic Book that came out around the time of Assassin's Creed 2.

Though I'm still scarred by some of Kenji's previous artwork, I like his approach on the erotic side though.

I don't know what to expect, but I know the art will be great, and Assassin's Creed adaptation will be interesting to see.

I'll definitely keep my eyes out.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Manga Adpatation


Wild Typo appeared!

I'd like to make a crazy comparison between Ezio and some existing anime characters but I never played any Assassin's Creed. So nope, won't be reading this one. Still thinking about watching that Mass Effect anime too... Somehow games + anime/manga doesn't really work for me, maybe I'm not elastic enough.

Edited, thanks ^^

Ezio isn't even in it though...
I think we all noticed the typo, no need to make a big deal of it.

I mean, let's be that way. Nobodies calling you out for using fragmented sentences.

I always thought some games would be amazing as an anime, or I guess manga ... but Assassins' Creed? ... I'd rather have Prince of Persia or Catherine.

By all means, I'm not pointing out the typos to sound like a grammar nazi or to be vile. On the other sites I'm visiting, pointing them out is actually viewed as helpful. Editors are people too, they can overlook something, not to mention that reviewers/writers in general are grateful for proposed improvements in their works.
But if it's viewed as offensive in the mods eyes then tell me, I'll stop.
Also, English is not my first language and I'm quite out of touch with it lately (as in writing) so I welcome all corrections with open arms.

I do think it would be better to just message me about miss spellings. I'm not going to lie, I am a terrible speller. I used the browser's spell check and it didn't pick that up. I'll try and be more thorough.

...huh.

I consider myself a pretty big Assassin's Creed fan and I have no idea why this would ever exist. I think it's some weird attempt to pull a Mass Effect anime? I mean, they could easily just have a japanese setting or character because REASONS but...why?

Also, if it's like the comics, expect anything interesting introduced in this manga to be buried and tossed aside for no good reason 2 games from now.
