Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal anime visual, trailer released

Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal is an anime adaptation featuring the characters from Legend of Mana. The anime is slated to broadcast sometime 2022. You can check out the teaser trailer below:

As fans would have likely guessed, Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal looks to be adapting the Jumi Arc. The key visual shows Elazul, Pearl, Florina, Sandra, Diana and Esmeralda, each having their own spotlight in the story in the game. The protagonist is Shiloh, the male option, though it could be possible Serafina, the female protagonist, may have a supporting role as she did in the manga.

The overview as translated by Gematsu is as follows:

■ Story

Shiloh, a young boy who lives near the town of Domina, begins to hear a mysterious voice in his dreams.

The voice told him he had a mission…

One day, Shiloh meets two people known as “Jumi.”

The Jumi are a race of people targeted—and many killed—for the jewel buried in their chests.

Recently, mysterious jewel thieves have been attacking Jumi all over the world.

And so Shiloh sets out on an adventure concerning the jewels of the Jumi!
