Panini UK Acquires Tegonia Manga For U.K. and Ireland

The publisher Panini UK has announced that it has acquired the manga version of Tsukasa Tanimai's Teogonia light novel series, which has also recently received a television anime adaptation.

According to the press announcement, this is the first English-language publication of the manga. Shunsuke Aoyama launched the manga adaptation on the Pash Up! website in 2018. The story is by Tsukasa Tanimai, while the art is by Shunsuke Aoyama and the character designs are by Kōichirō Kawano.

Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures had previously described the story:

It's a time of warfare where relentless battles continue between human and demi-human tribes like the Ash Monkeys (Macaque) and pig people (Ogres) invading human lands.
Kai, a boy from the village of Rag, spends his days immersed in battle to protect his village.

Amidst the harsh battles enforced by those possessing immense power known as "guardian bearers," and as his comrades fall one by one, Kai suddenly recalls memories he shouldn't have experienced - memories of a world with advanced technology and knowledge of people's lives beyond this world.

And thus, although Kai was just a villager, he soon finds himself embroiled in great trials...
A magnificent fantasy tale unfolds, chronicling the struggle and growth of a single boy in a harsh world.

Tanimai launched the web novel on the "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" (Let's Become Novelists) website in August 2017, and the latest update was in October 2023. Shufu to Seikatsu Sha is releasing the novel series in book form under its Pash! Books label with illustrations by Kōichirō Kawano. An anime version began in April 2025, directed by Kunihiro Mori (Phantom in the Twilight, SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors) at Asahi Production.
