This news signals the culmination of a series that has woven a tale of magic, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of vengeance.
A Decade-Long Saga Draws to a Close
Legend of Heaven’s Door (Tenkū no Tobira) has been a significant part of the manga landscape since its debut in June 2011. Initially serialized in Nihonbungeisha’s Sakura Hearts magazine, the series transitioned to Comic Heaven in August 2012 following the former’s closure. Over the years, KAKERU’s creation has garnered a dedicated following, drawn in by its intricate plot and compelling characters.
The manga entered its final arc in December 2022, setting the stage for the story’s resolution. Now, with the impending release of the 23rd volume, readers are bracing themselves for the epic conclusion to Roush Moderia’s quest.
Story of Heaven’s Door
Legend of Heaven’s Door immerses readers in a world where the mystical Heaven’s Door holds the power to grant any wish, but with the caveat that some wishes bring blessings while others unleash nightmares. The narrative begins after Ray, the lightning champion, and his comrades defeat King Diablo, restoring peace to the human realm. However, their victory is short-lived as they are poisoned, including Roush Moderia’s father, a renowned “Macro Driver.”
Roush’s life is shattered when a familiar nemesis resurfaces, burning his village and kidnapping his sister. This time, the enemy is not a demon but someone once admired as a hero. Driven by a thirst for revenge and the legend of Heaven’s Door, Roush assembles a team to confront the impending evil. His journey is fraught with challenges as he faces former allies and grapples with the dark secrets surrounding Heaven’s Door.
