Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, Vol. 2 (Volume 2) Paperback – February 27, 2024

I got this as a Christmas gift and I just finished Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, Vol. 2 by Nikiichi Tobita, and I’m giving it a full five stars for how much fun it was. This manga follows Aseo, a bumbling Tarnished, as he stumbles through the wild and dangerous Lands Between, tackling Stormveil Castle with his guide Melina and a cast of quirky characters. As a huge Elden Ring fan who’s spent way too many hours dodging death in the game, I love how this volume keeps the world’s vibe but flips it into something light and hilarious. The humor lands perfectly for me—think goofy misunderstandings and clever jabs at the game’s brutal difficulty, like Aseo’s knack for getting into ridiculous situations. The art is sharp, with detailed character designs that pop off the page, especially when they’re poking fun at familiar faces from the game. It’s not all laughs; there’s a surprising heart to Aseo’s journey that makes you root for him, even if he’s a bit of a mess. For anyone who loves Elden Ring and wants a fresh, funny take on its world, this is a must-read. I’m already hyped for the next volume!

Bought as a gift. Recipient loved it.

really funny and follows the lore despite it being a gag manga

My son enjoyed this book.

Great art, nephew loved it

Despite the book cover, don't mistake this as a telling of the story in the game Elden Ring. This so a hilarious rethread of the Tarnish's journey that pokes fun at the lore and story of the game's event while adding it's own subversive twists. Get ready to join suction cup flasks to your butt and challenge Godrick to a grafting fashion contest in this absurd oddessy through the Lands Between.

I'm loving this series so far. As a fan of the game, it's a very fun read. I would suggest it to anyone.

Exactly as described, no damage no breaking perfect for its use
