After 6 years, the Magic: The Gathering manga with a title too weird to ever fit in this headline is finally getting an English release

There’s an official Magic: The Gathering manga and it’s finally being released outside of Japan. Publisher Viz Media announced on social media that the manga – Destroy All Humans. They Can’t be Regenerated. A Magic: The Gathering Manga – by writer Katsura Ise and artist Takuma Yakota will release in English for the first time this fall.

Magic: The Gathering and manga may seem like a natural pairing, especially considering there have been manga/anime-inspired settings, cards, and art in the history of the venerable card game. But Destroy All Humans takes things in a slightly different direction than what one might expect, eschewing the idea of adapting Magic’s fantasy settings and characters in favor of a romance story in which the game itself brings together a pair of unlikely rivals-turned-companions.

That doesn’t mean the game and its trappings aren’t right there on the page. As M:TG players should already recognize, even the title is a direct reference to a well-known Magic card, slightly adapting the text of the ultra-rare and powerful early Magic card Wrath of God, which reads “Destroy all creatures. They can’t be regenerated.”
