The fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire has been a tremendous hit across the globe, and the television adaptation of the series, titled Game of Thrones, simply pushed its popularity to newer heights.
On this site, we’ve previously seen the Game of Thrones characters get the Disney treatment, now check out the characters done up in manga-style glory!
Just like how movie posters get redesigned in different countries to appeal to the visual tastes of the local audience (though sometimes in not so successfully), books, too, often have different cover designs across the international markets.
The award-winning series by George R. R. Martin, which was first published in 1996, has been translated into various languages, including Japanese, and these manga-style illustrations created by digital artist Noriko Meguro grace the covers of the Japanese version of A Song of Ice and Fire published by Hayakawa.
