Hiroshi Takashige and Tatsumi Hitomoji's one-shot manga The Last Terran, originally published in Kodansha's special Young Magazine US English issue in August 2025, will begin serialization as a full series in the September issue of Monthly Young Magazine on August 20. The announcement appeared in the August issue of the magazine, which also revealed that the one-shot is one of four additional works selected for serialization on top of the five contest winners from the first Yanmaga US project. The other three titles are To Dusk and Twilight, Boys Run the Riot -In Transition-, and Protocol Ryugu, with the latter two already in serialization. The additional selections were made based on what the staff called the 'brilliance of the talent' and 'lingering impact' of the works, following what they described as 'tremendous support' for the US initiative. Takashige is best known for writing the manga Spriggan, which was adapted into a 1998 film and a 2022 Netflix anime series, as well as Until Death Do Us Part and RDB.
