Wow, I wonder how many fans of the games even know they began as a manga?

I actually didn't realize this until now, but (as a way to help promote the Story of Seasons crossover game for the 3DS back in 2016), XSeed actually DID release the OG Popolocrois manga... but only as a website-exclusive offering that covered just the first volume of the overall series.

I'm both shocked that this actually happened, yet disappointed that it was never given a "proper" & complete release, even if only as a digital purchase.

I certainly didn't! I thought it was a game first, then an anime.

This is so sad. RIP and thank you for creating a series so charming.

Hey, I thought this too! I'm mindblown it actually had TWO anime adaptations.

RIP. Huge fan of the two anime series (my childhood!). Count me in with those who thought it was a game first.
