So, the first volume of the Wakfu manga is out. No doubt that our friends of the comic team will scanlate it as soon as they can. In the mean time, for the most impatient ones, here's a summary of what's happening.
/!\Warning/!\ Needless to say, the following lines contain HEAVY spoilers.
Chapter 1: The Gobbelle Milk Thief I guess everyone has already read the scanlation of this first chapter. It's been posted previously in this thread. Well, if you haven't, here's a quick summary. The story begins in Emelka. This is where Alibert now lives with four adoptive sons: Yugo, Adamaï, Chibi and Grougaloragran. Everything is back to normal after the fight against Qilby. Yugo's injuries have healed, even if he hasn't fully recovered his strength yet. One day, Alibert sends Yugo fetch some gobbelle milk for Grougal. Unfortunately, it seems someone has just stolen the last bottle of milk. But it turns out that the thief is a fake, and that all this milk fetching thing is just meant to buy Alibert some time, so that he can organize a surprise birthday party for Yugo and Adamaï.
Chapter 2: The Birthday So, Yugo and Adamaï are now 14. Lots of characters we've seen throughout both seasons have been invited by Alibert, who spent months sending invitations. There's of course Ruel, Sadlygrove with Ruby, Eva and Amalia. Amalia acts as princess-ish as ever, but finally gives Yugo the hug he was asking for, with the help of a little "butt stroke" from Eva. Kriss and Maude are there too. They're now trying to create the first mixed boufbowl team between Bonta and Brakmar. Maude gives Yugo a friendly kiss, which seems to very displease Amalia. Miranda, still pregnant, has come with KABROOOKKKK!! who's acting like a fanboy with the former Masked Boufbowler. Phaeris also -somewhat- takes part to the party. He usually drops by from time to time to help raising Adamaï and Grougal as dragons. Joris offers Yugo a fishing rod which belonged to one of his friends. And a lot of secondary characters make an appearance here: Xav and his family, Ruel's grandma, the Justice father and son, Pandiego, Wagnar, and even the four ugly princesses.
Chapter 3: The Surprise Guest It's time to eat the cake and open the presents, poorly wrapped by Grovy in a paper "which-was-trendy-10-years-ago" provided by Ruel. Everyone has fun, until an unexpected guest appears. A mysterious character, hidden by a white coat with a hood, calls out to Yugo: "I have an important mission for you". And the way Alibert gets punched when he tells that person she isn't welcome shows that she isn't quite friendly. The mission would be to bring her the six Eliatrope Dofuses. Of course, Yugo, Adamaï and Phaeris just refuse such a mission; and a fight starts with Phaeris taking his dragon form. Adamaï shoots a fireball, burning the character's coat, revealing she's a girl. Phaeris takes her in his mouth and drags her to the sky to continue the fight. This is also a diversion to allow the other guests to take shelter. He seems to know who the girl is, and how powerful she is. Meanwhile, Yugo asks everyone to take shelter. Of course, the members of the Brotherhood of the Tofu are up to a nice brawl, especially Grovy. But Eva isn't, saying she just can't, while holding her belly. Grovy suddenly grasps her and carries her to some place a bit further, saying he's just protecting their "little secret". Amalia then realizes that Eva somewhat forgot to tell her "something"... Grovy then rides Adamaï, Amalia uses roots to carry Ruel and herself, and they catch up with Phaeris and the girl in the sky.
Chapter 4: Phaeris The Powerful It's the gang's turn to attack the girl. Meanwhile, Yugo and Joris, who are still on the ground helping everyone else, decide to join them. Joris knows the girl, and doesn't understand why she's attacking them. She's Jiva, Guardian of Winter and Cold, Protector of Javian. She has very old ties with Bonta, which makes Joris think that he can reason with her, that all this is a misunderstanding. (Joris is an emissary who represents the King of Bonta, remember?) Unfortunately, it's not a misunderstanding. Jiva tells Joris that their old alliances are now over, but doesn't give any precise reason as for why she's doing all this. She furiously defeat all our heroes. Phaeris still keeps on fighting back, but Jiva finally offers him to let everyone else live if he lets himself "be tamed".
Chapter 5: Phaeris' sacrifice Everyone is falling down from Amalia's root because of Phaeris' last attack. Yugo can save almost everyone with his portals, except for Ruel and himself because he doesn't have enough Wakfu left. They're finally saved by Kabrok who brought his Black Raven equipment. Fun fact: while they're falling, Ruel begs Yugo not to let them both die. Actually, Ruel has made Yugo the heir of his fortune, and doesn't want it to go to a waste! Anyway, everyone is safe, except for Phaeris. Jiva leaves his dead body on the ground, and says she'll respect Phaeris' sacrifice and keep her promise to let everyone live. However, Yugo must bring her the 6 Eliatrope Dofuses, and that before the first day of Martello. "They are easier to get than Ogrest's ones" anyway. Jiva then takes Chibi and Grougal hostage, and disappears. Yugo starts lamenting on how impossible this mission is, when Phaeris' soul appears before him. He tells Yugo there's a device in the Zinit that'll help him locate the Dofuses. The device itself isn't very difficult to find, but Yugo must watch out for the Zinit's protectors. Ans so, Phaeris' soul disappears, getting back to his Dofus. After some talk, our usual team (plus Joris) sets off for this new quest.
To be continued in volume 2.
