Adventure and action are some of the most liked genres in almost everything either be it anime, manga, or some Netflix originals. We get to experience the thrill and fun of the characters throughout their journey of trying to reach their goals.
If an adventure series has a taste of a plot twist like betrayals or a change in the whole plot in the literal sense, the viewing experience just goes up a couple of notches. Just like in the case of Who Does Meredith End Up With? All About The Beloved Grey’s Anatomy Character!, we go from just killing the dumb large titans to genocide and racism.
This year too, we have a new manga series by Fuyuyuki and Leonard named Excalibur Chronicle of Raidorl. This series is about the stories and adventures of the second prince of the kingdom of Zain. We follow him after his coming-of-age ceremony, after which his life takes a detrimental route.
About Excalibur Chronicle of Raidorl
The manga is extracted from a Light Novel of the same name. The Web Novel for the same has been published for almost two years now. Currently, as of writing this article, the web novel has around 235 chapters and is still ongoing.
The manga of Excalibur Chronicle of Raidorl is serialized by Comic Rex and Ichijin plus this year. The first chapter was released on 10th January 2023.
Let’s talk a little about the plot of the series.
Raidorl Zain was born as the second prince of the kingdom of Zain. He was brought up by his elder brother Granard Zain and all the servants of the royal family. Raidorl lead a calm life like a kid would until the age of 13.
At the age of 13, he had to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, which would mark him as an adult. In the ceremony as a tradition, the person has to wield “Dáinsleif” the Excaliburof the kingdom of Zain. Raidorl was chosen as the holder of “Dáinsleif” during the ceremony marking him as the new King as well.
His kind elder brother, who was always nice to Raidorl, became jealous and started to hate him as a potential danger to his throne. Granard then sent his brother away to the border, which is a hub for monsters and demons.
Raidorl started living his life at the border and started making new friends. He was just settling in with this new lifestyle until the neighboring Arsline empire started attacking the Kingdom of Zain.
Granard forced his brother Raidorl to fight in the front lines against the forces of Arsline. Raidorl then decided to start a rebellion against his brother and all the people who banished him from the kingdom.
When Raidorl picks up the sword of “Dáinsleif,” it will mark the born of a Hero; this is how the legend of the sacred sword “Dáinsleif” started with a rebellion.

Excalibur Chronicle of Raidorl Chapter 1: Recap
The chapter starts with Raidorl practicing his sword with the daughter of the Prime Minister of the kingdom of Zain, Mertina Marcell, who is also his Fiance. They talk about how Raidorl wants to become a knight for the kingdom and save its people from demons and monsters.
Then comes his brother Granard Zain who is happy that his brother is happy about the coming-of-age ceremony rather than being anxious about it. It’s when we get to know about The Holy Sword of Dáinsleif. This sword has been passed down since the first King.
There is also a saying that whoever pulls the sword will become the next King of the kingdom of Zain, but for hundreds of years, no one has been able to pull out the holy sword. Now, all that it stands for is the coming-of-age ceremony, that is grasped by the nobles to confirm their resolution.
During the ceremony, Raidorl pulls out the holy sword, which means that the sword has chosen him as the next ruler of the kingdom of Zain. This makes Granard mad, and he is angry about why wasn’t he the one chosen after all he has done for the kingdom.
The story then shifts to a carriage that is carrying Riadorl in shackles away from the kingdom. He asks for his elder brother, saying that this has to be a misunderstanding, but he is shocked when the General and the Prime minister of the kingdom tell him that it’s his brother’s orders.
On this note, the chapter ends with Raidorl leaving the city for what’s supposed to be the greater good.
Excalibur Chronicle of Raidorl Chapter 2: Spoilers
There are no official spoilers for the series yet, but we know that the manga is based on a light novel so we can get an idea from there what’s going to happen in the second chapter of the manga.
So in the Light novel, we see Raidorl contemplating his brother and Fiance, who abandoned him just because of some myth. He says that whether he was able to wield or sword or not, he was going to become a knight and protect the kingdom.
It’s when we arrive at the borders of the Kingdom of Zain. The Borders are the place of attacks by the demons, and Raidorl was supposed to work there. Raidorl will have to fight off the monsters who attack the borders so that they don’t get inside the kingdom.
