Chūya Koyama's story
The Chūya Koyama's Uchū Kyōdai manga.
The story follows two brothers, Mutta (Oguri) and Hibito (Okada), who made a vow as kids to travel to space. The younger brother Hibito did become an astronaut, but not Mutta. However, Mutta's life changes one fateful day.
Koyama launched the manga in Kodansha's Shogakukan Manga Awards in January. (Since the manga series is longer than eight volumes as of last year, it is no longer eligible to compete for the Manga Taisho award.)
