G2 turns a decade of legacy and ambition into lore with launch of fant – G2 Esports

Today, we’re expanding our universe with the launch of Red Aura,  an online comic series, inspired by the ambition, achievement, and emotional journeys that have defined our journey over the past decade. Developed in collaboration with renowned Japanese Art Director Runbel and studio KISAI Entertainment, behind the webcomic adaptations of AVATAR: The Last Airbender and The Beginning After the End, Red Aura brings our legacy to life through a brand-new fantasy world. Red Aura debuts today in Japan on WEBTOON’s LINE MANGA, with additional language releases coming to WEBTOON at a later date.

Red Aura follows the epic journey of heroes whose determination, courage, and unrelenting drive mirror the story of G2 – a decade-long saga defined by ambition, adversity, and triumph, but don’t worry, you won’t have to wait a decade to see the conclusion of this story. Set in a world of magical nomads with incredible powers that shape the very reality around them, we follow the story of Asa, a young girl from nowhere who dares to dream the biggest dream – to become the greatest Nomad. The story blends fast-paced action, heartfelt themes, and silly humour reminiscent of the great shonen series that inspire people across the world. This is a magical world full of unique powers, political games and personal challenges that confront our characters to grow beyond their wildest expectations, or suffer the brutal consequences in this competitive world. Each arc takes inspiration from a part of G2’s legacy, but reimagines it infinitely closer and more personal to the characters’ experiences with all the inspiration of the real people who make our story.

The series will be released globally in both Japanese and English (with more languages to be announced at a later date). The first 10 episodes of Red Aura are readable now in Japanese on LINE MANGA. Episodes will be released weekly, with over 40 episodes in total for the first season.  The series’ release on WEBTOON’s English-language platform will be announced soon.

“For over 10 years, G2 has chased excellence and defied expectations. Red Aura is a reflection of those values,,” said Sabrina Ratih, COO of G2. “G2 is at the heart of digital-first entertainment, and with Red Aura, we’ve created a story that anyone can enjoy, whether they’re an esports fan or not. We see this as the next step in G2’s evolution into an entertainment powerhouse, with a beautifully crafted story inspired by the challenges overcome on our journey. We’re doing something completely new here, taking a big leap into the unknown, but are really excited for readers to experience and enjoy this new world with us.”

Quote from Runbel – Art Director for Red Aura (Japanese and English below)

“私は日本出身で、子供の頃から漫画文化に多く親しみながら育ちました。

この企画と初期ストーリーボードを最初に見たときに、

子供の頃に漫画を読んだときのワクワクした気持ちや未来に対する夢や憧れを思い出しました。

キャラクター達から燃えるようなエネルギーを感じて、

情熱と生命力にあふれた作品に出会えたと思いました。

私達が大人になっていくにつれて、「子供の頃の純粋な心」は徐々に失われていきます。

この作品を読んでいると、子供の頃に見た多くの夢を思い出させてくれると思いました。

国境を超えて、この作品に関わることができてとても光栄です。

ありがとうございます。”

“I’m from Japan and grew up surrounded by manga culture. When I first saw this project and the early storyboards, I was reminded of the excitement I felt reading manga as a child, and the dreams and aspirations I had for the future. I could feel the fiery energy of the characters, and I felt I had come across a work that was full of passion and vitality.

As we grow up, we gradually lose the “innocence of childhood.” Reading this work reminded me of many of the dreams I had as a child. I am very honored to have been involved in this work, transcending national borders. Thank you.”
