2Starring a NEW main character, Renya, the adventure of “Code Geass” unfolds once more. A new manga script writer, Goro Taniguchi, makes his debut with the newest “Code Geass” project serializing in the monthly magazine, Shonen Ace. A manga series with Taniguchi, the director of the anime, writing the script, and Tomomasa Takuma doing the artwork. “I show much gratitude to both the head editor of Shonen Ace and the manga artist, Mr. Tomomasa Takuma. I’d like to take on this project as a challenge, being an inexperienced manga script writer,” says Goro Taniguchi.
The long-planned project finally comes to materialize. “The new project, ‘Renya of the Dark,’ will be an episode within the ‘Code Geass History.’ There will be stories from two different eras in the same world. The anime featured the ‘Lelouch of the Rebellion’ chapter, and we see this as the ‘Renya of the Dark’ chapter.” This “Code Geass” will be expressed through manga. How will it differ from the anime? “For instance, you can express emotions on a panel by panel basis in manga, and you can also express a fighting scene with intensity via a two-page spread. I wish to release a ‘Code Geass’ that is unique to manga with Mr. Takuma’s amazing skills in drawing sharp lines and expressive glances.”
The stage is the Edo Era. Renya and his friend meets C.C. and face fate head-on. “We will write the epic of Renya with the two main themes that are present in ‘Code Geass’: ‘What does it mean for man to live?’ and ‘What exactly makes me who I am?’” The next movement of “Code Geass” has finally begun to move. “We still have many other chapters of the ‘Code Geass History’ that are in the works, so stay tuned for future announcements!”
OUR PERSPECTIVE (By the buyers, the writers, and the readers)

animate Ltd., Project Promotion et al.
Considering the finale of “R2″, I’m very interested to see where this will go. The anime sold quite well with female fans at the core. It was quite impressive with so much unexpected development that kept the audience excited. I think the story will also be interesting if that can be reimplemented in the manga. I hope that it will lead to the manga eventually being animated.

A new series of “Code Geass” begins its serialization in the manga. We currently know of three things: C.C. will make her appearance, it will be based around a new protagonist, and that the original manga work will be led by the director of the anime, Goro Taniguchi. He restored a classical story that closely resembled “Macbeth” with his quick compositions and performance, so I am certain that yet another thrilling and grand epic will be created. I can’t not be excited.
