Kodansha Creators'Lab Game describes the game:
The main feature of this game is that you place panels based on manga scenes on a page to create your own manga for each battle. These panels are randomly dealt with each turn. Create the perfect page with your wits!
The panels have various effects such as attack, movement, and defense. When placed on the page, they will activate in the order in which the manga is read! Collect panels to build your deck, create the perfect page for each situation, and use your wisdom and ingenuity to defeat the enemies that stand in your way!
Publisher Kodansha USA is releasing the original manga in English and describes the series:
When you’re the infamous “genius” assassin The Fable, things come easy for many people. However, being a normal person isn’t one of them. In fact, being told that he can’t kill anyone for a while might be the hardest job he’s ever had…
Minami launched the original manga in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine in November 2014 and ended the series in November 2019. The manga has 22 volumes. The series won the Best General Manga award at the 41st Annual Kodansha Manga Awards in 2017.
The original series inspired two live-action films, which were released in Japan in June 2019 and June 2021, respectively. The manga also inspired an anime television series that premiered on April 6 and aired consecutively for two seasons (first quarter of the year). Disney+ is streaming the series worldwide, and Hulu is streaming the series in the United States.
Minami launched The Fable: The Second Contact manga as a sequel to The Fable in July 2021. The manga ended serialization in July 2023. The manga serves as the “second part” in the overall manga series. Kodansha released the ninth and final volume of the manga in November 2023.
