It’s a tale as old as time: A hopeful game designer and mega Final Fantasy fan scores his dream job working for Square Enix, but his life goal is cut short after a magical truck runs him over, transporting him to a fantasy world inspired by the games he loves. That’s the gist of Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger, an ongoing isekai manga series that’s been in print for a few years now, with two more volumes on the way soon. Volume 10 hits store shelves on October 15, followed by Volume 11 on December 10, and both are available to preorder now. And for those who want to catch up on the first nine volumes, you can grab them all at Amazon for below their normal $13 list price.
