About the series
A short-lived but conceptually rich 1998–1999 Kadokawa manga, Jikū Tenshō Nasuka (often translated as Space-Time Transfer Nasuka) explores the collision of ancient Incan mysticism with modern-day Japan. Though only two issues were published, the series is remembered for its ambitious premise, entwining shamanic visions and temporal displacement. The work is most closely associated with its creator, who wove a dense, atmospheric tale of a young man’s journey through time and spiritual awakening. Its brief run belies a striking, fully-realized vision that still intrigues fans of esoteric manga.
