We'll see how the game fits into everything else. Apparently, it neither follows the manga's nor the anime's continuity (though it seems to be closer to the manga's continuity), so the events might not fit into the manga's timeline, but another timeline does not have to be less canon. (I do not consider the anime's continuity canon, though, since the staff completely scrapped Ishida's draft.)

I do think that the background of the characters stays the same in the manga, though. And I expect Rio to make his appearance at some point in the manga (since Kijima already appeared). But I've no clue if he'll already appear in this arc. And he might be really weak when he finally makes his appearance.
