Manga Giveaway: Assassin’s Creed Giveaway

The month of September brings a number of things along with it, such as the autumnal equinox (for us in the Northern Hemisphere, at least) and yet another manga giveaway at Experiments in Manga. For some, other September delights include International Talk Like a Pirate Day. As such, a manga about pirates would seem to be thematically appropriate for a giveaway, and so this month you all have a chance to win the first trade volume of Takashi Yano and Kenji Oiwa’s Assassin’s Creed: Awakening as published in English by Titan Comics. As usual, the giveaway is open worldwide!

Assassin's Creed: Awakening, Volume 1

Pirates, noble or otherwise, are a fairly popular character type in all sorts of media. The presence of pirates in a story generally brings along with it a promise of action, adventure, and sometimes even a bit of romance. Often their portrayal in fiction tends to be fairly glamorized when compared with historical and modern-day realities although there are certainly some stories that favor a more gritty approach.  When it comes to manga, there’s one particularly successful series that most people probably immediately think of when considering pirates (Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece), but there are plenty of other, lesser-known manga that feature pirates of one ilk or another as well. Part of Assasin’s Creed: Awakening, for example, takes place on the high seas during the early eighteenth century and, yes, there are most certainly pirates to be found.

So, you may be wondering, how can you win a copy of Assassin’s Creed: Awakening, Volume 1?

1) In the comments below, tell me a little about your favorite pirate from a manga. (If you don’t have a favorite, or haven’t read any, simply mention that instead.)
2) If you’re on Twitter, you can earn a bonus entry by tweeting, or retweeting, about the contest. Make sure to include a link to this post and @PhoenixTerran (that’s me).

And there you have it! Anyone participating in the giveaway has one week to submit comments and can earn up to two entries. Comments can also be sent to me directly at phoenixterran(at)gmail(dot)com if either needed or preferred. Those comments will then be posted here in your name. The giveaway winner will be randomly selected and announced on October 4, 2017. Good luck!

VERY IMPORTANT: Include some way that I can contact you. This can be an e-mail address in the comment form, a link to your website, Twitter username, or whatever. If I can’t figure out how to get a hold of you and you win, I’ll just draw another name.

  1. my favorite pirate is Monkey D Luffy

  2. A couple of my favorite pirates are: Jaeha (Yona of the Dawn) and Edward Kenway (Assassin’s Creed: Awakening). I have more, but can’t think of them right now. ^^;

  3. Currently my favorite anime/manga pirate would be Marika Katou from “Bodacious Space Pirates” :)

  4. So much cooler than Jack Sparrow! This pirate is a fine pirate–I need to learn more!

  5. Lol i never known that there’s an Assassins’s Creed manga, i love the series! I’m just going to share the giveaway though, i already played the game and i prefer to enjoy the original media. Good luck to all the participants!

  6. My favourite pirate is Jae-ha from Akatsuki No Yona or Yona of the Dawn. I really like Jae-ha because of his seductive nature and how he teases his friend Hak (Main Male Lead). It’s cool to see his personality go from this happy-go-lucky around his friends to the dark, want to escape his “curse/destiny” person.

  7. It might sound a little trite, given its popularity, but I do quite like One Piece overall with Roronoa Zoro being my favorite character.

  8. James Berg says

    I know it’s not original, but it would have to be Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece.

  9. Joseph Miller says

    Favorite Pirate: Luffy from One Piece.

  10. Well since no one else has mentioned her, how about ChaCha from Basara? Someone as awesome as her certainly deserves to be mentioned!
