Longing for Home

Morning KC Longing for Home Vol. 10 is an official Japanese paper manga volume by Yoshihiro Yamada, published by Kodansha under the Morning KC label.

A great cold wave strikes, inflicting devastating damage and resetting the world. Waking from artificial hibernation after 500 years, Taro Maizuru has lost everything: his beloved family and his fortune alike. Clawing his way back from the depths of despair, he sets out for his homeland, Japan, in search of an ideal life and a reason to live. A great journey retracing the history of humanity and civilization. Humanity, this is your future! In his masterful historical epic Hyouge Mono, Yoshihiro Yamada explored the roots of "culture" 500 years in the past. In Longing for Home, he changes direction to depict "civilization" 500 years in the future! Taro Maizuru's journey has brought him to the great nation in the land once called Manchuria, just 1,500 kilometers from Japan in a straight line. In this country teeming with intrigue, Taro and his traveling companions stand in an election for representatives to keep their safe home, the lakeside village, out of the devastation of war. Taro, a man of civilization, distributes fiat banknotes called "picture cards" and reinvents gasoline to win over voting blocs. Hatta, a man of feeling, joins forces with Puri, the mother of the nation, to undermine the largest faction's power base from the underworld. Paru, a man of the wild, enters the bloody transcontinental "chariot race" and faces a fight to the death with its greatest champion, who is also the faction's standard-bearer. But wildness calls forth something wilder still. The ferocious beast "Enlil" killed Paru's father and is his sworn enemy. The leopard Enlil, which once slaughtered their companion Mito, has been defeated here by a new beast. The newest and strongest Enlil is a panda of towering size, rampaging and devouring people! A sensation on social media, and a succession of astonished reactions across the media! Yoshihiro Yamada's latest hugely ambitious work is serialized in two blocks a year in Weekly Morning, and is also available to enthusiastic readers on Comic DAYS!
