‘Siren’ Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary With a Manga Adaptation
The fantastic survival horror game Siren sees its tenth anniversary — in North America, at least — and what better way to celebrate something like that than with a manga adaptation? All right, another Siren game would be substantially more exciting, but when it comes to this hugely underrated series, I’ll take what I can get. The manga, titled The Call of the Red Sea, will be illustrated by Wataru Kamio, with a story by Keiichiro Toyama and Naoko Sato.
The manga will arrive later this year in the manga magazine Shin Mimibukuro Atmos.
