There are those gamers who love both manga and games which would surely be fun when combined. Here are some manga series which you would surely love to see as enjoyable and amazing video games.

 ½ Prince

Technically speaking, half Prince is not a manga as it is a manhua which is the Chinese equal of the manga. Both terms have the same meaning which is comic with similar ways of presenting their stories. In Half Prince, you will follow Feng Lan, a girl who was blamed for utilizing her gender in order to leverage in gaming for her to play an MMO which has lots of different aspects making it a breather: detailed class, cities system, guild, tournaments, complex NPCs as well as huge are for exploration. Making virtual reality video games is not yet possible today, but this type of multiplayer is welcome to the party and guild setup which is typical.

Defense Devil

In this manga, you will follow Kucabara the demon prince in his quest of saving the souls trapped between Hell and Heaven. Gathering different evidences and then presenting them but it is on combination with fighting other demons. These elements in the manga would be enough to make its video game adaptation appealing to other people.

Jing: King of Bandits

Jing: King of Bandits is special than the other manga in this list as this already had a video game. But the game adaptation of this manga is very old and has a convoluted battle system. The backgrounds that are featured in this manga are very intricate making them great for platforming and even exploring. The varied arcs of stories and character designs that are very rich would be enough in fitting the manga into a video game. A good video game for this manga would be enough to make other people appreciate the series.

Air Gear

This is among those odd manga which does not fit in genres. It is about sports, but it is not focused on competition or teams. Instead, it’s about a group of people competing to protect and expand their territory. Air Gear could be easily translated into a free-exploring video game such as Mirror’s edge or Assassin’s Creed. The availability of lot of gangs and objectives in Air Gear would make an intricate video game without going too far from the plot of the manga. It would also be better if the air gear and the characters are customizable.

The World God Only Knows

Keima Katsuragi is a woman hater and prefers the universe of sims dating. Becoming a popular conqueror of girls, some demons lurking at New Hell were attracted by his ability as they badly needed someone who could exorcise demons that feed from heartbroken girls. When hilarity ensues, the story has transformed into a much better one compared to the clichéd synopsis. The various routes that Katsuragi was too uninformed and too smart to take are considered neat bonuses to the story. The comedy involved in it will be a breather compared to the sims dating that are too serious.
