Betrayal Reborn: Volume 1 of The Journey of Humanity's Worst Traitor Released
There is some very exciting news for the fans of dark fantasy and reincarnation stories. Today, March 6th, the first volume of Keiki Ikeda's manga adaptation, titled "If I betrayed humanity, I would be killed by my childhood friend, the hero," has finally been released. This series is being published under Kill Time Communication's Valkyrie Comics imprint and is based on the original popular novel penned by Ryo Mizokami. It is really interesting to see how these light novels are getting such high-quality comic treatments lately.
A Resurrection 1000 Years in the Making
The plot of "When I Betrayed Humanity, I Was Killed by My Hero Childhood Friend" starts with a very big twist—the resurrection of a man who was once known as the greatest traitor to his own kind. During a massive war where humanity's victory was basically guaranteed, a man named Ramon Marknight did the unthinkable and joined the Demon King's army. Even though he was a human, he fought against his own people until he was eventually put down by his own childhood friend, who happened to be the legendary Hero.
Suddenly, Ramon wakes up in a world that has changed completely, exactly 1000 years after that historic war. He is very much confused because he was supposed to be dead, yet here he is, breathing again. The story follows his lonely journey as he wanders through this new era, searching for the truth behind his rebirth and why he was brought back after all this time. If you like stories where the protagonist is not exactly a "good guy" in the traditional sense, then If I Betrayed Humanity is definitely something you should check out.
