Manga Space Brothers Ending in 3 Chapters! Final Volume Scheduled for July 23rd Release

It has been announced that the manga Space Brothers will conclude in its next 3 chapters, and that the final volume will be released on Thursday, July 23rd.

This smash-hit manga by Chuya Koyama has been serialized in Morning magazine (Kodansha) since 2007. In 2011, it achieved a double victory by winning the 56th Shogakukan Manga Award (General Category) and the 35th Kodansha Manga Award (General Category).

As children, older brother Mutta and younger brother Hibito made a promise while gazing up at the starry sky. In the year 2025, the younger brother has kept his promise, becoming an astronaut and joining the first long-term lunar crew. Meanwhile, the older brother, Mutta, has been fired from his job and is unemployed. Sparked by a single email from his younger brother, Mutta once again sets his sights on space.

To commemorate the conclusion of the series, a campaign offering 147 chapters for free will be held starting Thursday, March 19th, on the manga apps "Magazine Pocket" and "Comic DAYS".

Comment from Author Chuya Koyama

I'm excited myself to see how it ends. To everyone who has read the story up to this point, I hope you'll stick with me until the final volume.
