The Seven Deadly Sins Sequel—The Four Knights of Apocalypse
The Four Knight of Apocalypse is the direct sequel to the Seven Deadly Sins by Nakaba Suzuki. The manga started its serialization in 2021, a year after the end of its main series. Since then, Nakaba has continued working on this sequel and now has six volumes out. The 7th volume will be out on may May 17.
Kodansha Comics publishes the sequel both digital and physically. Naturally, the first volume of the manga tackles the origins of its protagonist. Kodansha Comics describes the starting point of the sequel’s story:
Percival has always lived with his grandfather on God’s Finger, a remote haven that sits high above the clouds. And though he loves the simple life, he secretly longs for adventure. But Percival’s life is changed forever when an intruder—who shares a shocking connection with him—tears away everything he’s ever known.
With nothing left to do but chase down the one who took everything from him, Percival sets out on his own. During his journey, the sheltered boy discovers that there are a lot of things he doesn’t know about normal life. Luckily, he meets friends along the way who can help him get by—but how will they react when they find out about Percival’s destiny… and how it’s connected to the end of the world?
