| Writer | Josh Tierney |
| Artist | Agroshka |
Lucas Densen has earned his easygoing reputation through hard work and optimism. When not playing basketball for his high school team, the Pulsars, Lucas enjoys visiting his mother's archaeological excavations. During one visit, Lucas accidentally triggers an ancient alien artifact that suddenly transforms Earth into a small glowing orb no larger than a basketball! Transported to a mysterious realm with nothing but what's on his back and the planet in his hands, Lucas encounters a friendly alien, Lully, who offers to help. What awaits him in this new realm where worlds are the size of your palm, and can he find out how to restore Earth?

Jul 04, 2021This is one of the first stories in a new line of North American manga (also known as Original English Language manga, or OEL manga for short) that Viz is publishing, so it reads from left to right like North American texts. The story is slightly compelling, especially if you really need to know what happened to the basketball-sized Earth. That answer isn’t in volume one, of course. Also, Luke is able to use the Earth as a sort of weapon, and he shoots it at people like he’s playing basketball. This doesn’t end up hurting the planet at all, which is also not explained in volume one. This is a decent start to a new series that would be good for collections where sports manga, particularly Kuroko's Basketball, is popular. Read Full Review

A whole new (shrunken) world filled with charming characters and interesting classics. An adventure story that's like a cross between Bone and '90s manga.
