A travelling troupe of alien entertainers collides with another spacecraft and discovers a single survivor: a human baby. Unable to identify her home, the performers settle on a nearby planet and agree to act as her family until someone comes to claim her. Years later, the little girl, Corona, regards this extraordinary household as perfectly ordinary. Her mother is a furry creature, her father resembles a formidable robot soldier, and the neighbours are no less unusual. Their attempts to raise a child turn alien biology and spacefaring technology into the ingredients of domestic comedy. The troupe's improvised arrangement gradually becomes a life shared together. Yoshitoo Asari builds the series around the contrast between strange appearances and familiar affection. Everyday misunderstandings, playful science-fiction references and Corona's curiosity give this eccentric space family its warmth, while the question of where she belongs remains quietly present.

In a near-future Japan, giant machines called Labors have become everyday tools for construction and heavy industry. Their usefulness also makes them dangerous in the wrong hands. To handle crimes involving these powerful machines, the police establish a specialist unit equipped with patrol Labors of its own. Noa Izumi joins a team whose duties combine enormous hardware with the awkward routines of an ordinary workplace. Pilots, commanders and mechanics must cooperate under public scrutiny, balancing their enthusiasm for the machines against the practical limits of policing crowded streets. Behind individual incidents lie larger interests in the technology's development and use. Masami Yuki's manga gives its robots weight by placing them inside a functioning society. Mechanical action shares space with office humour, investigations and the relationships of an unusual police squad, making the people who operate and maintain the equipment as important as the machines themselves.

by Kenji Tsuruta
- Comedy (shared)
- Romance
- Sci-Fi (shared)
Impossible inventions and very human wishes meet in this collection of science-fiction stories. Time machines, submerged cities and journeys beyond familiar space provide settings for people whose curiosity repeatedly carries them past the limits of sensible behaviour. Scientific ambition can be grand, but the desire behind an invention is often surprisingly intimate. Among the recurring characters are China, the inventive Jim and the eccentric Professor Breckenridge. Their encounters make extraordinary devices part of everyday relationships, with affection, frustration and improbable experiments all sharing the same space. Other stories broaden the collection's range of imagined worlds and peculiar discoveries. Kenji Tsuruta gives these adventures a gentle sense of wonder through detailed drawing and an interest in the people doing the dreaming. The collection treats science fiction as an invitation to curiosity and possibility, allowing romance, humour and moments of quiet reflection to coexist with its remarkable machines.

Captain Grahad Mills commanded the Jackal, an elite unit of soldiers fighting in powered armour. As his country faces defeat, his own men betray him and accuse him of treason. Condemned after a military trial without a proper defence, he escapes on the morning of his execution and begins a battle that the official end of the war cannot settle. Mills seeks both revenge and an explanation for the betrayal. His former comrades, military authorities and the forces shaping his defeated homeland stand between him and the truth. The skills that once made him a valuable soldier now help him survive as a fugitive. Jun Shindo builds this military science-fiction story around heavy infantry equipment, tactical confrontations and divided loyalties. Detailed armour and weapons give the fighting a physical presence, while the investigation behind Mills's anger connects individual combat to a wider struggle over responsibility and power.

by Yukito Kishiro

After her final battle with the scientist Desty Nova, Alita wakes up somewhere she never expected: inside Zalem, the floating city that the people of the Scrapyard below always believed was paradise. What she finds is a place of fear, cruelty and decay, and her close friend Lou is in danger. With a new body and old enemies everywhere, Alita fights her way through Zalem to reach Lou, while the secrets of the sky city and of her own past slowly come to light. The search soon carries her far beyond Earth, to the colonies of space and the Zenith of Things Tournament, where the greatest fighters in the solar system meet in brutal, spectacular martial-arts battles. Yukito Kishiro's sequel sets aside the original ending of Battle Angel Alita and takes the story in a new direction over fourteen years of serialisation. It combines hard science fiction, philosophy and some of the most detailed fight choreography in manga, and was later continued in Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle.

Humanity has expanded into space, but someone still has to collect the rubbish it leaves behind. Hachimaki works aboard an orbital debris ship, removing objects that could destroy passing spacecraft. He dreams of travelling farther than this unglamorous job allows, even as his doubts and the demands of earning a living keep pulling him back. His colleagues bring their own reasons for staying in orbit. Yuri carries the memory of a wife lost in a space accident, while Fee approaches the dangerous work with practical resolve. Beyond their small crew, nations and corporations carry Earth's inequalities into the new frontier. Makoto Yukimura makes space exploration a story about workers, ambition and human connection. Carefully imagined machinery and the physical dangers of orbit sit alongside intimate questions about grief, responsibility and the lives people hope to build when distance alone cannot solve their problems.

Saitama trained so hard that he lost all his hair and gained the power to end any fight with a single punch. That is exactly his problem: no monster, villain or alien lasts more than one blow, and being a hero has become terribly dull. He spends his days hunting supermarket bargains and searching for an opponent who can make him feel something again. He gains an earnest disciple in Genos, a cyborg seeking revenge, and joins the Hero Association, where heroes are ranked by their public results. Despite his unbeatable strength, Saitama starts at the bottom, and almost nobody believes the bald man in the plain costume is responsible for the victories they keep hearing about. Born as ONE's web comic and redrawn with spectacular detail by Yusuke Murata, One-Punch Man is both a superhero parody and some of the most breathtaking action in manga. Its anime adaptation made Saitama an instantly recognisable icon.

The City has been growing for so long that no one inside it remembers open ground. Floors stack upon floors without end, split by chasms too deep to see across, and the machines that once built it now hunt the humans who still wander its corridors. Somewhere in this endless structure, humanity lost its link to the Netsphere, the network that once let people control the City, and with it any way of stopping the expansion. Killy, a silent traveller armed with a devastating Graviton Beam Emitter, is searching for one human who still carries the Net Terminal Gene. On the way he passes scattered settlements, cyborg hunters and the merciless Safeguard, and meets Cibo, a scientist whose body has been rebuilt more than once and whose knowledge may matter as much as Killy's weapon. Tsutomu Nihei, whose background is in architecture, tells the journey mostly through space and silence: vast stairwells, rusting bridges, long pages without a word and sudden bursts of violence. BLAME! is a landmark of cyberpunk manga, a lonely, hypnotic exploration for readers who like to get lost in a world.

One night, alien parasites fall silently from the sky. They burrow into human hosts, take over their brains and feed on people while wearing ordinary faces. The parasite meant for high-school student Shinichi Izumi fails to reach his brain and takes over his right hand instead. Shinichi and the parasite, who names itself Migi, are forced into an uneasy partnership: one body, two minds, and neither can survive without the other. As parasites spread through the city, including the cold, curious Ryoko Tamiya, who studies humanity as closely as it studies her, Shinichi fights to protect the people he loves, while slowly changing in ways that frighten him. Hitoshi Iwaaki's horror classic is a gripping, thoughtful story about what makes us human and humanity's place in nature. It won the Kodansha Manga Award and was adapted into an anime, live-action films and a Netflix series.

In a future where seventy percent of the Earth has turned into harsh desert, peace is kept by the Rainbow Council, a team of super-powered guardians, each known by a number.

Taiyo Matsumoto's No. 5 is an eccentric, visually dazzling science-fiction journey, full of striking landscapes, unstable ideals and his unmistakable artistic style.
