I just hope in the near future, this fucking oneshot gets serialized.

I just hope that in the near future, this fucking oneshot gets serialized. 

Indeed, this would've been a hit had it gotten serialized. The Beatles all over again? x_x Oh, well, it's an inspiration for me regardless, so thank you very much scanlator and random manga button my friend. :D

This is one of the very few creative ideas I've seen in a manga, it won an award, and didn't make it into a full series? SIGH. Then again if it had been serialized it probably would have been sullied with stupid clichés by an editor that wanted it to conform to the themes of whatever magazine it got published in. Maybe it's better it didn't get serialized. Or maybe the author is keeping it on the back burner for when he can get it to a magazine that will let him do what he wants with it. 

Won the award but didn't get serialized? Did the author decided not to or something?

 

A shame though since it's pretty interesting series.

To play the devil's advocate here, to serialize this means to go the entirety of the plot that's already been put forth. Meaning, traveling to New York City, eventually to the satellite, discovering the past, and then coming to some sort of conclusion as to how to resolve the events.

During this period, the story has to be interesting enough to remain serialized and while providing story and character progression. How much faith does a publication want to have in an uncertain and relatively unstable story? Apparently not enough in this case.

well god damn this seemed really good, kinda pissed it didn't get serialized.

Oh my god, seriously, I hope this gets another chance some day.

Japan, u dun goofed.

THIS WAS ACTUALLY GOOD

 

DAMN IT JAPAN GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

i thought she came from the past

I meant relative to us. She is not futuristic enough for living in what our world is supposed to be like in 2000 years.

(Unless this isn't the first time humanity has self-destructed and started over from scratch lol....)

Let's just hope that this manga will get serialized one day, it's too good to waste this manga only as a one shot mmm...

I guess she didn't seem futuristic enough for being from the future...
Same style as present, phone is a 'brick', battery, not enough personal tech, sailor uniform (Seriously?)

I like it and all, but I think for someone from so far in the future she could have been more futuristic and all.

I mean what about the mini-capsules that contain life-sized functional flying cars and such?

How did this not get serialized?! It is so good...

this was really good! It's a shame it wasn't serialised!

This is pretty bad.

 

The fact that people are floating blatantly incorrect theories puts the final nail in this oneshot coffin.

Maybe it was initially not build with laser? Even Mari don't know about the laser until Yorka told her about the lightning, and finally she test it herself.
 
Too bad if this is only one shot, the idea kinda refreshing.


She knew it. Just look at her face when the guy told her the story about mage.

A follow, in the hopes that in time, it gets a chance to start. 

 

Mostly interested in where the people are coming from, since they're coming from as early as the 1900s.  Perhaps they're recreations from a VR or something that are turned into real humans?

This was really good. It shall be marked as followed so that I can find & reread it later on.

Hmm, giant laser-star moon.

 

Reminds me of El Hazard.

 

Good times...

This is really great. the story can still be expanded. there still many cities to explore, mystery to be told, and characters development. it won an award. and yet, no serialization.

 

what went wrong?

 

EDIT: give 5 stars and followed. just in case, if the publisher decide that they made the wrong decission.

Holy shit this was so good! Why didn't they serialize it?!?!

Then she wouldn't have access to the lasers. It's not even supposed to be completed yet from her timeline


Lazy programmers, that's what. They probably had some sort of prototype, and the software engineers probably reused the prototype data. Alternatively, it's still a 'preproduction' model, with test data still enabled.

Would have definitely been a bookmarked read if it was serialized, damn
