The official Facebook account of manga creator duoAkira Himekawa posted previews of their currently running manga The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on April 29 (see gallery below). The duo also posted in English that the compiled book of the manga is slated for June 24. After the book’s release, the post notes that “other countries publishing companies will have contracts with a Japanese publishing company to publish it by other languages. Probably we think that the Twilight Princess will publish by countries and the languages that published the Zelda series.”

The new work is the pair’s return to drawing The Legend of Zelda manga after an eight-year hiatus.
