If you’re unfamiliar with Edens zero, it’s a science-fiction manga by Fairy Tail mangaka Hiro Mashima. It debuted on Weekly Shounen Magazine in June 2018 and it’s still being serialized,

Here’s how Kodansha itself describes the story.

“A young boy gazes up at the sky and sees a streaming bolt of light. The friendly, armor-clad being at his side tells him gently, “That’s a dragon.” The fact that he’s joking isn’t important. What’s important is the look of wonder on the boy’s face … and the galaxy-spanning adventure that’s about to take place! Join Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tail, Rave Master) once more as he takes to the stars for another thrilling saga!”
