VIZ Media will release Volume 6 of the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet manga adaptation on October 13. This is a new volume of the manga, not a new version of the games; it contains 96 pages and is priced at $5.99.
Written by Hidenori Kusaka and illustrated by Satoshi Yamamoto, this manga has been published since 2025. The series is planned to consist of seven volumes in total; the first five have already been released, and Volume 6 was available for pre-order at the time of reporting.
Although the manga adapts the Nintendo Switch game, it retells the story with original characters and adjusted plot points. As such, it is connected to the game's narrative but does not serve as a direct substitute for the game's story. According to VIZ Media's summary for Volume 6, after Iono's Gym Battle, Violet clashes with Miraidon; the summary also raises the question of whether Julian can defeat the Titan Orthworm.
The manga's artwork and lighthearted, humorous segments have received praise from some readers, while its fast pacing and the late introduction of the protagonist, Julian, have sparked controversy. Goodreads data cited in the article shows an average rating of 3.83 out of 5 stars based on nearly 60 user reviews. Volume 7 is scheduled for release on February 9, 2027.
