Edens Zero Vol. 02

Edens Zero Vol. 02

It’s here! The creator of Fairy Tail, manga superstar Hiro Mashima, is back with a high-flying space adventure! All the steadfast friendship, crazy fighting, and blue cats you’ve come to expect… IN SPACE!

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Shiki, Rebecca, and Happy have gone to the planet Norma in the hopes of getting a bigger ship from an old friend, Professor Weisz. But when they get there, they see outdated technology and an unfamiliar city…and the only sign of the professor is a mysterious young man going by the same name. What’s more, he’s gotten himself into some trouble with the toughest gang on the planet–and neither side is going down without a fight!

Biographical Notes:

Hiro Mashima is best known for being the author & artist of Edens Zero, Fairy Tail Zero, Fairy Tail S: Tales from Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail, and Rave Master.

Mashima began the currently ongoing Edens Zero in 2018. Fairy Tail won the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen manga in 2009, and Mashima was given the Harvey Awards International Spotlight award in 2017 and the Fauve Special Award at the 2018 Angoulême International Comics Festival.

Title Notes:

Fairy Tail was one of the bestselling manga in the English-speaking world, building a larger and larger audience from its release in 2008 to its climax in January 2018.

Hiro Mashima is returning with a new series at the peak of his popularity. He attended New York Comic Con in October 2017 to sold-out crowds of thousands at the Javits Center, the Japan Society, and Kinokuniya bookstore.

Kodansha is betting on Edens Zero as a new flagship shonen adventure series (and a major anime adaptation, while not confirmed, is probably inevitable).
