Glacier Bay Books to Release Konomi Oumi's Universe From the Balcony Manga in English

 

Glacier Bay Books announced on Wednesday that it will release Konomi Oumi's Universe From the Balcony (Veranda kara Uchū) manga collection in English later this year.

The publisher describes the manga:

UNIVERSE FROM THE BALCONY includes a mind-expanding panorama of Konomi's stories sure to inspire and delight: ethereal beings that slip into the cosmos, the faint smell of a goldfish bowl, wordless plant spirits, impossible love, a mermaid who's forgotten how to swim.

Featuring approx. 180 pages of Konomi's quiet, vividly beautiful stories, whose careful construction are reminiscent of serendipitous sea shells that trace the shoreline, we will publish UNIVERSE FROM THE BALCONY later this year.

Tim Sun is lettering the manga and Matthias Hirsh is translating.

Oumi originally released the manga at the COMITIA 145 event in September 2023.

Glacier Bay Books previously released Oumi's From This Flame manga in 2021. The manga collected eight stories by Oumi. Oumi also contributed to the third volume of Glacier Bay Books' Glaeolia indie manga anthology series.
