Reports and discussions surrounding the potential return of manga artist Kamui Fujiwara to the Dragon Quest: Warriors of Eden manga in January have surfaced, drawing keen interest from fans of the beloved series. While Kamui Fujiwara is indeed the acclaimed illustrator behind the Dragon Quest VII: Warriors of Eden manga, current official information indicates that the series remains unfinished, having concluded its original run with 14 volumes. There has been no official announcement confirming Fujiwara’s return to produce new chapters for Dragon Quest: Warriors of Eden specifically in January.
The Unfinished Saga of Dragon Quest: Warriors of Eden
Dragon Quest VII: Warriors of Eden is a manga adaptation of the PlayStation version of Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. Illustrated by Kamui Fujiwara, with supervision by Yuji Horii, the series was serialized in Monthly Shōnen Gangan from 2001 to 2006. It tells the story of Arus, Kiefer, and Maribel, three teenagers from Estard Island, as they embark on an adventure to unravel the mystery of their world and discover sealed continents.
Despite its 14 collected volumes, the manga is noted as incomplete, with the narrative concluding around the Alltrades Abbey/Dharma arc, leaving much of the original game’s expansive story unexplored. Fans have long hoped for a continuation of this adaptation due to its detailed storytelling and Fujiwara’s distinctive art style.
Kamui Fujiwara’s Legacy in the Dragon Quest Universe
Kamui Fujiwara is a well-respected figure within the Dragon Quest fandom, known for his significant contributions to various manga adaptations of the franchise. Beyond Warriors of Eden, he is widely recognized for his work on the Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick (also known as Emblem of Roto) series, which earned considerable popularity. His style has become synonymous with the visual identity of several Dragon Quest manga series, endearing him to a broad audience.
No Official Announcement for Manga Continuation
As of early December 2025, exhaustive searches for official announcements regarding new chapters for Dragon Quest: Warriors of Eden or Kamui Fujiwara’s return to that specific project in January have not yielded confirmed results. While some fan discussions and conjectures suggest a possibility of the manga continuing, particularly in light of upcoming game releases, these remain speculative.

The broader Dragon Quest franchise is seeing significant activity. A remake of the video game, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, has been officially announced and is slated for release on February 5, 2026, across multiple platforms. This new iteration promises updated visuals and refined gameplay, offering a fresh way to experience the classic RPG story. Additionally, English editions of other Dragon Quest manga, such as Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick, Vol. 1, are scheduled for release in January 2026, indicating continued interest in the franchise’s manga catalog.
