Shadow Eater, Legends of Evos Manga is a collection of volumes told from the point of view of Saithe Esus. It was announced on July 10th, 2016.

RJ Tolson announced on his Twitter that he was writing a new manga spin off series based on Hugh the Southern Flame, but from Saithe Esus's point of view.



Saithe was a character first introduced in Hugh the Southern Flame. Tolson also revealed that the first volume is going to be released soon, with illustrations throughout the whole entire book with a Japanese edition too. A preview of the first chapter was included in the Premium limited edition first volume of the True Life Manga series, Tolson's first manga. The back summary was released via the author's website in 2016.

Death, destruction, and despair. Three months after the events of Hugh the Southern Flame, the world of Evos has been thrown into chaos. Appearing from the unexplored continents to east and west, hordes of beasts, fiends, and monsters of old waged war on humanity, quickly conquering and enslaving them, before killing those that resisted. Without any knowledge of the creatures, humanities only defence, espers (those with supernatural abilities) and agents (trained warriors) never stood a chance.

Although Saithe Esus looks 19, he has lived the life of a hermit for over 2000 years, having put his tragic past to rest until a fated chance to avenge his family suddenly reveals itself. With the world in a state of pandemonium, he decides to traverse the unexplored regions of Evos for the first time in 500 years while trying to uncover a way to save humanity.

With a sword in hand and a baby chimera on his shoulder, Saithe must force his way through the dreadful shadow lands, horrendous fiends, and a stream of truths more powerful than he could have ever imagined.
