Space Brothers #23

Two astronauts in orange NASA flight suits dominate this cover — a close-up of a determined young man in the foreground and a smiling woman beside him, while a third figure leaps joyfully in the background against a warm, painterly sky. Chûya Koyama's long-running manga about the dream of space exploration reaches its 23rd volume with the same human warmth and earnest ambition that has defined the series. Published by Pika Édition in 2018, this volume is a fine reminder of why Space Brothers resonates so deeply with anyone who has ever looked up and wondered.
