Vol 1: Escape from Complex 12, illustrated by Emma Galloway, colored by Iacopo Calisti, lettered by LetterSquid
Kimi Kosmic is a fearless space cowgirl living on Pax. She thrives in her exciting environment at the edge of the galaxy, riding around in her space ship the Black Dragon Supernova with her cowboy partner, Pocketts. Kimi spends her days herding space cattle on the ranch, and her nights quad racing. The challenging but fulfilling life Kimi leads is destabilized when a strange cowboy, Leather Tongue the Awesome, bursts into town with secrets that threaten to unravel everything she believes in. This sets Kimi and her crew off to find her long lost father before the corporation can strike again.
Pyontaro is trying to live his teenage life away from his annoying little sister, Futaba, but she’s constantly intruding in the most inopportune times. He and his two friends attend classes where they learn about the multiverse theory and daydream about girls. One day, they take home a strange disk from one of their teachers that opens a portal to another world, a bizarre multiverse where Futaba is captured by aliens! Pyontaro and his two friends go in after her, and they seem to have special abilities and super strength.
In a dystopian-esque world full of deadly assassins and criminals, Shizuka is a seemingly pleasant young girl trying to get by and survive. Few know that she is the contact for one of the most fearsome assassins - her brother Nagi, who has been left paralyzed and comatose after a bullet became lodged in his brain during an attack against Shizuka. However, Nagi can sense someone’s murderous intent, even from long distances away, and he springs to action to defend himself or Shizuka and kill whoever is coming after them. Shizuka, in turn, designs increasingly more destructive wheel chairs to compliment Nagi’s needs to fit the jobs they’ve been hired to complete.
Akira is mostly an average high school student who, on an outing looking for an out of stock manga, gets caught up in a skirmish that changes his life. He boards a subway and finds himself in a confrontation between an actual extra-terrestrial and the Alien Management Organization, the group tasked with making sure aliens follow the rule of law while they’re on Planet Earth. One of those officers is none other than Akita’s handsome and physically fit classmate, Sho Tenkubashi! Instead of wiping his memory and sending him on his way, The AMO decides to enlist Akira despite having no training and no physical prowess to match Sho. What could he possibly bring to the table?
