Posted on by

eigoMANGA has announce that the company will release the third volume of the graphic novel Oldman on January 23, 2023. Oldman is an award-winning and internationally acclaimed series created by Taiwanese writer and illustrator Chang Sheng. The publication was originally published by Taipei, Taiwan-based Tongli Publishing.

The story is about a queen who rules her country with an iron fist. Unmarried and without an heir, she adopted orphans as a way to prove that even commoners could reign as kings. Yet as the years progressed, she showed no sign of aging. Only one man knew the dark secret to her eternal youth: Oldman, a bearded magician whom the queen locked in her dungeon.

One night, Oldman stepped through the bars of his prison and disappeared before the queen’s very eyes. Enraged, she sent her army after him to keep her secret hidden. Before Oldman escaped his prison, he rescued a neighboring prisoner, Rebecca, a rebel warrior whose arms and legs were amputated by the queen.

Oldman took Rebecca to an underground doctor who fitted her with mechanical arms and legs. Together they now vow to take revenge on the queen that wronged them.

Oldman won numerous awards such as the International Manga Award in Japan, as well the Golden Comic Award for Best Shonen Manga. Oldman Part 3 is released to retailers on January 23rd, 2023.

eigoMANGA has acquired the rights to adapt and publish Oldman as a multi-volume graphic novel manga series in English. Oldman is an award-winning and internationally acclaimed series created by Taiwanese writer and illustrator Chang Sheng. The publication was originally published by Taipei, Taiwan-based Tongli Publishing.

The story is about a beautiful queen who rules her country with an iron fist. Unmarried and without an heir, she adopts orphans as a way to prove that even commoners can reign as kings. Yet, as the years progress, she shows no sign of aging. Only one man knows the dark secret to her eternal youth: Oldman, a bearded magician the queen has locked in her darkest dungeon.

Having tricked the guards (and not actually having left the dungeon), he rescues a neighboring prisoner, a sword maiden rebel whose arms and legs were amputated, and left to rot in her cell.

Upon taking her to an underground doctor who fits her with mechanical arms and legs, they together vow to take revenge on the Queen that wronged them.
