Origin

In 2023, Kodansha USA published the debut issue of Origin, a manga-infused sci-fi comic from the celebrated creator Boichi (with Mark Streer on writing duties). The series introduces a synthetic human grappling with his own existence in a world where advanced technology blurs the line between man and machine. Boichi’s distinctive, cinematic art—honed on hits like Dr. Stone—anchors this self-contained opening salvo, making it a striking entry for fans of thoughtful, action-driven speculative fiction.
