Where to read the original Record of Ragnarok manga in English
The original Record of Ragnarok manga series is co-written by Shinya Umemura and Takumi Fukui, with Ajichika working as the series’ illustrator.
Record of Ragnarok made its domestic debut in Japan back in November 2017 in the Monthly Comic Zenon magazine, published by Tokuma Shoten and then Coamix. As of January 2023, a total of 17 complete Tankobon volumes have been published domestically in Japan.
Excellent news for fans of the series who wish to read the manga in English, five of those volumes have already been published in English, with volume 6 scheduled to release on April 18, 2023.
Physical copies of the original English-translated version of the Record of Ragnarok series can be purchased via Amazon, Book Depository, Waterstones, Bookshop, as well as your local comic book stores. Digital versions are also available to read online through Google Play, Apple iBooks, and Amazon Kindle.
Record of Ragnarok has also received two spin-off manga titles. ‘Sh?matsu no Valkyrie: Ryo Fu H? Sen Hish?den’ has seven published volumes, whilst ‘Sh?matsu no Walküre Kitan – Jack the Ripper no Jikenbo’ is yet to launch its first Tankobon volumes. Unfortunately, neither spin-off manga has been serialized in English as of January 2023.
By March 2021, the manga had sold over 6 million copies; rising to 7 million and 9 million by June and December 2021, respectively. In May 2022, a Reddit post shared a post that confirmed that Record of Ragnarok had since passed 11 million circulated copies.
“The valkyrie Brunhilde has convinced the gods to give humanity a chance at redemption through combat in the Valhalla arena. Seeking a quick end to the proceedings, the gods present their first fighter, Thor, the Norse god of thunder.
