Chi. ~Chikyu no Undou ni Tsuite~

A manga about the birth of the heliocentrism during a time period when such heretical ideas were punishable by torture and death.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

What a fresh take on a historical manga! Not only is this series covering such an obscure topic as the Copernican Revolution but the creator Uoto cleverly shies away from focusing on any actual historical figure so far. This allows Uoto to be free of historical events that would bind the narrative and instead they’re able to weave interesting stories about individuals defying the church to pursue the truth they see among the stars. It’s absolutely amazing and I would love for this to get an official English release.
