Manga’s stars shine bright as two of the most well-received manga of the last few years inch towards their dramatic conclusions.
In the ninth volume of Kou Yaginuma’s Twin Spica, the young cast welcomes another class to the prestigious Tokyo Space School. Along with new faces, Asumi and friends will be introduced to another regimen of increasingly challenging simulations designed to separate the cream from the first crop. Readers will also be treated to an interesting twist this volume, as most of the drama is not set in the classroom, with extra-curricular activities suddenly impacting relationships and future priorities.
And as summer quickly turns to fall, Osamu Tezuka reminds readers that the season cannot come to an official end without a regular check-in with manga’s surgeon general, Black Jack. In this fifteenth volume, the mercenary medic continues to treat the human condition with his god-like skills, but on a few occasions he must turn attentions to his own ailments before proceeding to heal others.
So as we still have some daylight to enjoy leisure reading, why not let Vertical guide you through an increasingly expanding manga universe?
