Asadora!

Naoki Urasawa crafts a gripping, decades-spanning mystery with Asadora!, a series that follows a young girl in 1960s Japan whose life is upended by a devastating typhoon and a strange, monstrous creature in the sky. As she grows into a determined woman, the story weaves together personal survival, a shadowy conspiracy, and an escalating threat that spans from the postwar era into the modern day. Published by Viz Media since 2021, this ongoing series showcases Urasawa’s signature blend of human drama, suspense, and sprawling narrative ambition, with John Werry providing the English translation. It matters as a masterful, character-driven thriller from one of manga’s most celebrated creators.
