A new manga titled Duel Masters Pure Play's launched in Shogakukan's Weekly CoroCoro Comic manga service on Monday. Reki Yayoi draws it, and Hirokuni Nojima, the art director, character designer, and story writer for Duel Masters Play's, is credited for the original story and supervision. The manga is set in Duema City and centers on Kanon and Wedding, beings called Zeniths who learn human emotions through the city's residents.
The manga runs in Shogakukan's Weekly CoroCoro Comic manga service, with Reki Yayoi handling the art. Its setting is Duema City, described as a place where Duel Masters fans gather, and its leads are Kanon and Wedding, beings known as Zeniths whose grasp of human emotions and society is vague at the start. The manga follows them as they come to understand emotions through the personalities and experiences they meet in the city. Duel Masters Play's launched as a smartphone game in December 2019, based on the long-running Duel Masters trading card game.
