#MANGA METAMORPHOSIS SERIES#

Lidal created the Manga Bible series in order to 'reach children who might resist traditional Bible translations and never attend a church.' When he first announced his vision, it was met with some derision, with other Christians feeling the books would be insulting to the gospel. Next was formed by Roald Lidal, general director of New Life League Japan, pulling together manga publishing and printing professionals from Japan, and includes Japanese manga artists and other professionals in the manga industry. The Manga Bible series is the creation of Next, a non-profit organization created in 2006 to produce and distribution biblically-based manga series for distribution in a multitude of languages worldwide.

The sixth and the final book from the series, Manga Majesty (2019) concludes the story of apostle John's revelation in the island of Patmos and the revelations that mark the end of days. Manga Messengers (2011) addresses events starting with the reign of King Solomon and takes stories from several of the major and minor prophets, and the Book of Esther and concludes with anticipation of a messiah. Manga Melech (2010) picks up where Manga Mutiny left off and continues into the reign of David. Manga Mutiny (2008, 2009) begins in Genesis and ends in Exodus. Manga Metamorphosis (2008) covers the events in Acts and several of Paul's letters. The first book in the series, Manga Messiah was published in 2006 and covered the four gospels of the Bible: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The first two books were illustrated by manga artist Kozumi Shinozawa, while the remaining four were by RyЕЌ Azumi. Each book is adapted from the Bible by Hidenori Kumai. Though first published in English, the books are originally written in Japanese and each volume is illustrated by a Japanese manga artist. Manga Bible ( Japanese: гЃїг‚“гЃЄгЃ®иЃ–ж›ё гѓћгѓіг‚¬г‚·гѓЄгѓјг‚є = Minna no Seisho - Manga shiriizu, meaning 'Everybody's Bible - Manga Series' ) is a six-volume manga series based on the Christian Bible created under the direction of the non-profit organization Next, a group formed by people from the manga industry.
