In
Space, No One Can Hear You Cry.
In the future, computers control all aspects
of human life, even birth. No one questions Superior Domination,
the new social order, except the Mu, a mutant race with telepathic
powers who are forced into exile by the System.
On a distant colony mistakenly
believed to be Terra by its inhabitants, Jomy's world is turned
upside down when the Mu ask him to become their leader. Can Jomy,
with his emerging telepathic powers, lead the Mu back home, back
to Terra?

A Shojo Beat “Hot List” selection
“To
Terra features the kind of over-the-top space opera and sci-fi
exemplified by Leiji Matsumoto's Galaxy Express or some
of Osamu Tezuka’s Phoenix volumes; sprawling and
epic in scope but never forgetting to pay attention to the intricacies
of human emotion and interaction. An outstanding addition to the
pantheon of great manga.”
