When the Vertical staff was first introduced to Kou Yaginuma’s Twin Spica a year ago, we were charmed by the author’s storytelling and thoroughly impressed by his artistic skills. There was no doubt in our minds that we were reading a future hit.
Now after receiving praise from media sources and events like Publishers Weekly, Book Expo America, and the School Library Journal, Twin Spica has quickly become the critics’ favorite new title of 2010. Easily our most reviewed title ever, Yaginuma’s heartfelt tale of a teen’s lifelong ambition to become an astronaut is winning over readers across the country and we are certain that today’s release of the second installment in the series will further strengthen this series’ place among manga’s brightest and most beloved titles for years to come.
