Titan Comics has released a first look at SOMALI AND THE FOREST SPIRIT VOLUME 1, the manga that inspired the Crunchyroll anime series.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- For fans of cosy and pastoral fantasy this is the adventure of a lifetime as a kindly forest guardian golem sets out to protect a young human girl from a world of goblins and oni!

The world is ruled by goblins, spirits, golems, and all types of strange creatures… but not humans, who were nearly persecuted to extinction for their reckless disregard of the natural world. When a golem, a guardian of the forest chances across a young girl lost in the woods, he vows to take care of her… despite his life coming to an end. He must find other humans for her to live with, but in a world that despises them, is that even possible?

Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol. 1 is on sale November 12, 2024 at bookstores, comic shops and digital.

Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million and Forbidden Planet for UK.
