Summary

  • Rumiko Takahashi recommends manga “Cosmos” by Ryuhei Tamura.
  • Takahashi’s recommendation may boost the series’ popularity.
  • “Cosmos” follows a high school boy at an insurance company for aliens.

Renowned manga artist Rumiko Takahashi, known for her works such as Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha, has recently endorsed a manga by Ryuhei Tamura (creator of Beelzebub). This esteemed mangaka now stands alongside other popular authors like Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist), Tite Kubo (Bleach), and Kazuhiro Fujita (Ushio to Tora) who have previously suggested readers to give this manga a read.

A suggestion or endorsement for a TV show can significantly boost its appeal. Since Rumiko Takahashi enjoys great esteem, it’s probable that some enthusiasts will give this series a try. For instance, when Frieren recently recommended a manga, a rerun was soon announced.

In summary, Takahashi suggests that readers take a look at Cosmos. This advice is found in the fifth volume’s cover, which includes messages from various creators. Specifically, the fifth volume features her message, while previous volumes featured comments from Arakawa, Kubo, and Fujita. It is expected that Takahashi may share a message about the series on social media when the volume becomes available on January 17, 2025.

Rumiko’s Message About Cosmos

According to Comic Natalie, the message featured in the obi is as follows:

This narrative delves into the everyday happenings of an extraordinary realm. It’s both authentic and captivating, offering a unique blend of reality and fantasy.

Tamura himself dropped a few illustrations celebrating the upcoming volume:

What is Cosmos’ Premise?

Ryuhei Tamura’s latest work, ‘Cosmos,’ has been serialized since 2023 in the monthly magazine Sunday Gene-X. To date, five volumes have been published. As of now, it hasn’t been released in the US, but VIZ Media has obtained the licensing rights, and we can expect the first volume to hit stores this year.

I find myself immersed in a tale that unfolds within the cosmic realm of COSMOS, a unique insurance firm catering to extraterrestrial entities. This narrative traces the life of Kaede Mizumori, a typical high school student, who crosses paths with the enigmatic Rin Homura one fateful day.

Since the manga is currently at its fifth installment, there’s a possibility that it could receive a nomination for the prestigious Taisho Manga Award, which is highly respected within Japan’s manga community.

Apart from his renowned work “Beelzubeb“, Tamura is also recognized for penning other series such as “Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin“, “Hungry Marie“, and “Pyramid no Himitsu“. Please note that these titles are distinct from “Miss Beelzebub“.

Cosmos is licensed in the US by VIZ Media, and the first volume should be released this year.
