Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is currently in the midst of celebrating its 10th Anniversary, so it's rolling out a bunch of new exciting projects for series fans.

As part of the anniversary, Code Geass is getting two new manga showing different sides of its universe.

According to a report from Anime News Network, the January 2018 issue of Kadokawa's Newtype magazine announced the series will receive two new manga series. The first, which will launch on December 22, is titled Lelouch the Home Tutor. This will be a comedy spin-off, written by Urushidama, that casts Lelouch as C.C.'s home tutor

The second is a little less concrete. It is being touted as a "definitive" edition of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and is being illustrated by Tomofumi Ogasawara (who proviously has worked on Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: Glory of the Losers). This manga currently only has a release window of 2018.

The series will also receive two more spin-offs. A manga titled Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Lancelot & Guren and focuses on Suzaku and Kallen and Bisui Takahashi is handling writing duties while Takahiro Kimura will provide the art. It will release on Sunrise's official site December 22. The second spin-off will be a light novel series focusing on six character affected by the events of the story and is titled Code Geass Story Fragment - Piece of the Mosaic.

As part of this 10th Anniversary celebration, the series is recapping and reimagining the 50 episode series into a compliation film trilogy with new scenes not featured in the original series and new voice over recordings from the original cast. The first film, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - The Awakening Path, released in Japan on October 21.
