Utterly unique, with stunning artwork, this hit series promises to keep the thrills and surprises coming even as it warms even the coldest heart.

Meanwhile, the discovery of a leak causes a rift between the colony and Public Safety that could put everyone at risk…!Hamada received honorable mention in the Chiba Tetsuya Prize in 2000, then subsequently dropped out of manga until "Shimazaki" began its run in 2022. Seshimo made his debut in 2017 and has since had a number of successful series including "Invincible."
