Per a press release from Oni Press, Rick and Morty’s Maniacal Manga Comic Book Manifestation returns with RICK AND MORTY: THE MANGA VOL. 2: AFTER-SCHOOL SCIENCE CLUB.

"WILL MORTY’S MANGA-INSPIRED MACHINATIONS LEAD TO ROMANCE OR MAKE TROUBLE FOR THE MULTIVERSE?" the manga's official solicit from Oni Press reads, "In their first manga comic book appearance, Rick and Morty went toe to toe with a giant naked Jerry. Now, they’re ready for an even greater challenge: high school romance and after-school activities!" Writer Josh Tierney (World Piece, Iris Complex) and artist JeyOdin (Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1: Get in the Robot, Morty!; Hammer) are set to team up and bring Rick and Morty's next adventure to life.

What's Been Said About Rick and Morty's Next Manga Volume

The Manga" Vol 1, featuring anime-style characters, including a mecha suit

“Dark, absurdist humor is a core part of my being, and I've been collecting manga since I was 8, so when I was asked to write this book, I couldn't believe how perfect an opportunity it was,” Tierney said when reflecting on writing the next volume of the Rick and Morty manga. “Plus, it was a great excuse to watch Rick and Morty episodes over and over again while working on it (I can still hear their voices echoing in the recesses of my brain). If you're a Rick and Morty fan who is deep into manga, I wrote this for you. And for me. Let's get lost in Akiba together.”

RICK AND MORTY: THE MANGA VOL. 2: AFTER-SCHOOL SCIENCE CLUB artist JeyOdin added, “Volume 2! Although not a direct sequel to the previous storyline I drew, it was a very fun project to work on... I've been drawing manga professionally since I was 19, and being the artist who gets to draw the Rick and Morty manga has been a great honor. This volume truly has it all, humor, action, and even mystery in some points. Get ready to visit Akihabara, the mecca of anime and manga, and how an obsession with maid cafés can create more chaos than you could ever imagine.”

RICK AND MORTY THE MANGA VOL. 2: AFTER-SCHOOL SCIENCE CLUB is set to release on Feb. 24.
