From Beelzebub to Cosmos: Ryūhei Tamura’s Latest Manga Revealed

Ryūhei Tamura, the acclaimed manga artist known for Beelzebub and Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin, is set to launch a new manga titled Cosmos. The manga will debut in the next issue of Shogakukan’s Sunday GX magazine on April 19, 2023.

The magazine’s teaser for Cosmos is vague, stating that the story is “about an alien and _____.” The second word is intentionally covered up, leaving readers to speculate on what kind of story they can expect. However, the magazine has revealed that the manga will centre on a high schooler, Kaede Mizumori, who can see through people’s lies. Despite her extraordinary power, she leads a dull and unremarkable life, avoiding conflict whenever possible.

Kaede’s life takes a turn when she comes across a cryptic high school student, Rin Homura. The two become embroiled in extraordinary events that lead them to confront the unknown and the otherworldly. With Tamura’s talent for combining humour, action, and heart, readers can expect a thrilling and entertaining ride. (Also Read: Is Demon Slayer overrated?
