果ての星通信 [Hate no Shoutsuushin]

A quiet, melancholy sci-fi drama from 主婦と生活社, 果ての星通信 ran for five issues between 2019 and 2021, following a lone astronaut stationed at the edge of the solar system who maintains contact with Earth through fragile, handwritten letters. Its intimate focus on solitude and the ache of long-distance connection, told through sparse, evocative art, made it a distinctive voice in modern Japanese comics.
