5 minutes forward #1

Three teenagers stand at a crosswalk in what appears to be a fractured, post-disaster Tokyo — cracked pavement, debris, and overturned vehicles surrounding them while the city's familiar neon-lit skyline looms in an eerie red haze behind them. The contrast between the characters' calm, school-uniform composure and the catastrophic urban wreckage around them immediately sets a tense, intriguing tone. Hiroshi Fukuda's *5 Minutes Forward* Vol. 1, published by Dargaud's Kana imprint in 2020, promises a gripping sci-fi drama with a striking visual identity right from the very first page.
