天地創造デザイン部 [Tenchi Sōzō Dezain-bu]

In Tenchi Sōzō Dezain-bu (Heaven's Design Team), God has outsourced the creation of Earth's animals to a celestial design firm, where a team of eccentric deities and engineers brainstorm real-world creatures—often with hilarious, logic-defying results. Launched by Kōdansha in 2017, this ongoing comedy manga blends zoological facts with workplace satire, as the designers pitch absurd prototypes (like the pangolin or the platypus) that somehow get approved. The series is a clever, lighthearted exploration of evolutionary biology, grounded in the premise that every animal is a divine committee's compromise.
