Exploring the Premise of Cosmos

“Cosmos”is Ryuhei Tamura’s latest creation, serialized in Sunday Gene-X since 2023. To date, it has been compiled into five volumes. Although it hasn’t yet been released in the United States, VIZ Media has secured the licensing rights, with the first volume set to debut later this year.

The narrative unfolds within a unique setting, specifically at an insurance company dedicated to alien clients. The protagonist, Kaede Mizumori, a high school student, encounters the enigmatic Rin Homura, leading to unexpected adventures.

As the manga approaches its fifth volume, it could be a contender for the prestigious Taisho Award, one of Japan’s renowned manga accolades.

While Tamura is primarily recognized for “Beelzebub”, he has also authored other works such as Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin, Hungry Marie, and Pyramid no Himitsu.

“Cosmos”, slated for release by VIZ Media, promises to be an exciting narrative for fans eagerly awaiting its US publication.
