Hiro Mashima’s Edens Zero manga is nearing its end as the manga entered its final arc in the combined issue #4/5 of Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine.

The manga currently has published 221 chapters in the magazine. The first chapter of the fantasy manga was published in June 2018.

Edens Zero‘s chapters have been collected into 24 volumes as of December 2022.

The manga is published digitally in six other languages as they are released in Japan, with Kodansha USA licensing the series for English publication in North America on Crunchyroll, Comixology, and Amazon Kindle.

An anime television series adaptation produced by J.C. Staff aired from April to October 2021. Netflix acquired streaming rights to the series, which was released globally on August 26, 2021 on their platform.

A second season is set to premiere in April 2023. Toshinori Watanabe will serve as the director of Edens Zero season 2, with the rest of the staff and cast reprising their roles from season 1.

A video game adaptation by Konami was also released.

The manga’s plot is described by MAL as follows:

On the planet of Granbell, Shiki has led an isolated life growing up as the only human in Granbell Kingdom—an amusement park operated by machines. However, that changes when Rebecca Bluegarden and her feline companion Happy arrive, unaware that they are the first to visit this abandoned amusement park in one hundred years. Hoping to make fun videos for their B-Cube channel, they instead find and befriend the socially awkward Shiki.

When the machines make Granbell too dangerous for them, the trio flee and return to Rebecca and Happy’s home planet, Blue Garden. There, Shiki registers as an adventurer for the Shooting Starlight guild and learns about the mysterious goddess, Mother. Curious about the familiar feeling he gets from her, he decides to set out on a journey to find her, a feat no one has ever accomplished. Opting to tag along, Rebecca and Happy help Shiki begin the search for Mother, shooting cool videos and making new friends along the way!
