The Duel Masters GT -Gear of the Twin heart- manga, penned by Hiroki Kikuzuma and Daisuke Kawasaki, is set to conclude its serialization on October 1st. The announcement was made by the website for Shogakukan’s Weekly CoroCoro Comic magazine.
The series, which only recently launched on August 6th, has offered fans a fresh narrative within the expansive Duel Masters universe.
A Brief but Impactful Run
Duel Masters GT -Gear of the Twin heart- has followed the adventures of Grassa and Turret, the twin offspring of Dragon Ruler Glenmalt. Their story is intricately tied to the in-game Dragon Saga card lore, providing a new dimension to the popular trading card game’s narrative. The manga’s relatively short serialization highlights the dynamic nature of content within the CoroCoro Comic ecosystem, where new stories frequently emerge and evolve.
The Broader Duel Masters Franchise
The Duel Masters franchise is a multimedia juggernaut that originated in 1999, spanning manga, anime, and a highly successful trading card game. Shigenobu Matsumoto is credited with writing the original and still-ongoing Duel Masters manga, with the first anime series debuting in 2002. Over the years, the franchise has seen numerous manga and anime adaptations, continuously expanding its lore and character roster.
Recent Developments within Duel Masters
The conclusion of Duel Masters GT -Gear of the Twin heart- comes amidst other ongoing and upcoming Duel Masters projects.
