G2 Esports is levelling up once again—this time outside the arena. The world-renowned entertainment and esports brand has unveiled Red Aura, a brand-new fantasy-action comic that reimagines G2’s legendary spirit through bold storytelling and stunning art.
Launched today on LINE MANGA in Japan, Red Aura brings the passion, humour, and drive of G2’s decade-long journey to life in an original fantasy universe. The series is set to release in English soon via WEBTOON, one of the world’s largest digital comic platforms.
A Fantasy World Inspired by Esports Ambition
Developed in collaboration with acclaimed Japanese Art Director Runbel and KISAI Entertainment (known for adaptations like Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Beginning After the End), Red Aura follows Asa, a young nomad who dreams of becoming the greatest of her kind in a magical, power-driven world.
The story mirrors the essence of G2—ambition, adversity, and triumph—while embracing the charm of shonen storytelling. Expect a mix of fast-paced action, heartfelt moments, and sharp humour, all wrapped in a visually captivating world of political intrigue and personal growth.
A New Chapter for G2’s Creative Universe
“For over 10 years, G2 has chased excellence and defied expectations. Red Aura is a reflection of those values,” said Sabrina Ratih, COO of G2. “We see this as the next step in G2’s evolution into an entertainment powerhouse, with a story that resonates beyond esports.”
Art Director Runbel shared the inspiration behind the project:
“When I first saw this project, I was reminded of the excitement I felt reading manga as a child. Red Aura rekindles that spark of imagination and passion—something truly universal.”
Global Reach and Weekly Releases
The first five episodes are now available in Japanese, with weekly updates to follow. The first season is set to feature over 40 episodes, showcasing G2’s storytelling ambitions in full. Additional language releases, including English, will be announced soon.
With over 155 million monthly users, WEBTOON has revolutionized how fans consume comics through its vertical scroll format, transforming the reading experience for a new generation.

From gaming and fashion to music and now original storytelling, G2 continues to prove it’s more than an esports giant—it’s a creative force shaping digital culture.
