Eldo Yoshimizu's Hen Kai Pan Manga Gets Japanese Release (Updated)

Update: This article earlier stated this manga was a new manga in the series, but that is incorrect. This is a Japanese version of the manga, getting published in Japan for the first time, after first being published in English, French, and other languages. ANN regrets the error.

The X (formerly Twitter) account for LEED Publishing's Torch web platform announced on Wednesday Eldo Yoshimizu will launch the Hen Kai Pan series in Japanese on the platform on January 1.

The post teases the series with the line: "The time for judgment begins high up and far, far away."

Titan Comics publishes the original one-volume manga in English and describes the story:

Dismayed by the havoc wreaked on the Earth by humans, its five guardian spirits decide to act. But as they argue amongst themselves on what the judgement should be, one enraged spirit, Nila, becomes determined to take matters into her own hands, forcing the remaining four to unite in a desperate final battle to prevent her from wiping not just humankind, but all life from the face of the planet.

This is a highly personal and timely book that features some of Eldo's most beautiful artwork to date. With its central themes of ecology, philosophy and spirituality, Hen Kai Pan is a kinetic, emotionally charged work that delivers a powerful message that will resonate not just with manga fans, but all readers.

“Hen Kai Pan” translates as “One and All”, and is the motto of Cosmotheism.

The company also publishes Yoshimizu's Ryuko manga.
