Scoring a job at Square Enix, Sasaki's dream of producing a Final Fantasy game finally seems within his grasp! But after he starts, he quickly discovers that the work has nothing to do with his favorite franchise... His enthusiasm begins waning despite his sister Yuko's attempts to lift his spirits. Their conversation is cut short, though, when a runaway truck suddenly careens toward them...! When Shogo comes to, the first thing he sees is...a Moogle?! Wait, was that a Cure spell? And chocobos...?! Hurled into a Final Fantasy world, how will an uber-fan survive?!
Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger could have been a recipe for generic isekai fodder but thankfully its been written and drawn by long-term Final Fantasy fans – Hazuki Minase (Story), Itsuki Kameya (Art) – and their love for the franchise shines through. The story, with its twist on standard Final Fantasy elements, is interesting, the art is lovely and there are plenty of references for old and new fans of the franchise to pick up on. A worthwhile manga series to look out for if the premise ticks the right boxes for you. Read Full Review
