The upcoming manga titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Madness aims to expand the narrative universe of the popular Netflix anime. Written by Bartosz Sztybor from CD Projekt Red, this prequel focuses on characters Rebecca and her brother Pilar, shedding light on their lives prior to the arrival of David Martinez.
Set against the backdrop of Night City, the story reveals the duo's struggles as they navigate their dreams of becoming edgerunners. Initially depicted in a state of despair, sleeping in their car, the siblings are motivated to pursue their ambitions despite their family's legendary status. Their journey unfolds through a series of humorous misadventures, reminiscent of a comedic film.
This first volume of Madness has been well-received, offering a narrative that some readers find reminiscent of additional content for the anime, rather than a typical prequel retread. As anticipation builds for the next season of the anime, fans can look forward to this new exploration of familiar characters.
