What Is the Magic: The Gathering Manga?

They Can’t Be Regenerated is currently running as a full serialization within the pages of Kadokawa’s Monthly Shonen Ace magazine since its debut in 2018.

As for what to expect from this new Magic: The Gathering manga series coming our way, Kadokawa teases the story for Destroy All Humans. They Can’t Be Regenerated as such, “Seems like in everything he does, geeky Tokigawa Middle School student Hajime Kano always comes in second place behind popular honor student Emi Sawatari. But when Hajime takes a trip to a new game store he’s been hearing about, their rivalry takes an unexpected turn. Welcome to the early days of Magic: The Gathering, when a trading card game shaped a generation forever!”
