Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Game Gets Manga Adaptation
posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The November issue of Shogakukan's Monthly CoroCoro Comic revealed on Tuesday that Level 5's Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road (Inazuma Eleven Eiyū-tachi no Victory Road) game will get a manga adaptation by Tenya Yabuno. The manga will launch in the magazine's next issue on November 14, the same day as the game's release.
The game was recently delayed again from August 21 to November 14 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The company stated that the main reasons for the delay were voice recording and multilingual translation, including English, though it planned to make other quality improvements during the time. Before the current delay, the game was slated for release in June. The game is no longer getting releases for iOS and Android.
The story stars Unmei Sasanami, a young boy who yearns for a world without soccer, and follows his eventual meeting with Haru Endo, a soccer expert. The game features over 4,500 characters from the series.
The game was originally slated for summer 2018 as the Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin game for PS4, Switch, iOS, and Android, before its name changed to Inazuma Eleven: Eiyū-tachi no Great Road. The game has been delayed multiple times since then, and changed its title again to Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.
A new remake of the first Inazuma Eleven game titled Inazuma Eleven RE is scheduled for release in 2026 for Switch, PS5, PS4, and PC via Steam.
Yabuno drew the Inazuma Eleven manga that was serialized in Monthly CoroCoro Comic from 2008 to 2011.
