Dai Sato of Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is the script supervisor of the anime film Break of Dawn. The animation, due out on October 21st, is a feature-length of Break of Dawn (Bokura no Yoake) manga.
In part, it’s the story of a comet on an unavoidable clash with Earth.
The other part of the story? The anime is also about Yuma, a boy who is (understandably) focused on the comet, and Yuma also cares about space and robots. It’s Yuma who then encounters a strange being that might be connected to the incoming space rock.
Amazon UK has a barely populated placeholder for Break of Dawn, asking for more than £15 for a 1-page paperback due next year. I imagine the details from Kodansha will improve in due course.
The blurb says;
A little boy named Yuma is obsessed with the impending return of the Arville Comet. Then, one day, he sneaks onto the roof of an apartment building and finds something even more amazing―something not from this world. Now Yuma and his friends, and his hovering autopet Nanako, must work together to uncover a secret that’s slumbered in the Earth for years, as dawn breaks over a new era for him and for humanity…
