First, did you know that Edge Runners Do you have a manga? No, really, it’s called Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Madness, and it is a prequel whose first chapter appeared on Friday in “select magazines” in Japan, Poland and other territories. Written by CDPR’s comics and animation narrative director Bartorsz Sztybor and drawn by Asano, Craziness is a prequel focusing on sibling duo Rebecca and Pilar before they join the Maine team and… well, if you watched the show, you know that. At the moment, Dark Horse is handling the English version and there is currently no way to read it in that language.
