Comparing It with Volume 1... Cover Design for the Final 46th Volume of "Space Brothers" Sparks Buzz: "Way Too Cool" and "A Fitting Art for the Final Volume"

The official X account for "Space Brothers" has unveiled the cover design for the 46th and final volume of the manga, set to be released on Wednesday, July 22, sparking a massive buzz online.
The posted cover illustration for Volume 46 features the two brothers, Mutta Nanba and Hibito Nanba, standing side by side clad in white spacesuits. On the cover of Volume 1, while Hibito wore an orange spacesuit, Mutta was depicted in a rumpled suit with a loosened tie. In this final volume, however, both stand together, side by side in their spacesuits. Mutta, standing on the left, wears a gentle, reliable-looking smile, while Hibito, on the right, flashes a bright grin while making a peace sign. It is an emotional image that beautifully captures the growth of the two brothers who have finally fulfilled their dream of going to space.
