Haruichi 's Elden Ring: Distant Tales Between ( Elden Ring: Tōki Hazama no Monogatari ) comedy manga, based on Bandai Namco and FromSoftware 's Elden Ring game, announced on October 19 that it will end in its next chapter. The manga did not reveal when that next chapter will debut, and the manga's webpage says the next chapter's scheduled launch is "to be determined."
The manga will end in its third volume, which was slated to ship on December 4.
Yen Press licensed the series, and it describes the story:
These are the tales of the other inhabitants of the Lands Between. What if Roderika were to befriend the rest of the Roundtable Hold ? What if the Blackguard went in search of a new delicacy other than prawns ? What if one were to catch a glimpse of Rya's youth ? The lives of those in the Lands Between, and the many possibilities and the differing worlds that unfolded for them in the distant past, are written here.
Haruichi ( Star Wars: Visions , Star Wars Leia, Princess of Alderaan manga series) debuted the omnibus collection of short stories in July 2024.
