Exciting New Sci-Fi Manga from Rensuke Oshikiri Set for Release in 2026
Titan Manga has announced that they will publish Geniearth, a new sci-fi manga by Rensuke Oshikiri, in English starting April 14, 2026. Fans in the UK can pre-order the first volume on Forbidden Planet, with wider availability across North American retailers.
What is Geniearth?
According to Titan Manga, Geniearth is set in a divided world torn apart by a new genetic phenomenon. Here's a quick overview:
In a world divided by power, Geniearth takes you on a high-stakes, sci-fi adventure where society is torn apart by a new genetic phenomenon. A gene has surfaced, granting one in every thousand people incredible abilities, and the “New Humans”—or “Geniuses”—declare themselves superior to “Old Humans.” Fuwa Masaru, a Genius, leads a violent uprising, sparking a brutal civil war that threatens to obliterate the planet. Amid the chaos, a mysterious “Old Human” with an enigmatic aura appears—potentially the only hope to end the conflict and save the world.
Created by Rensuke Oshikiri, renowned for his dark and action-packed stories like Kurozuka and Tokyo Zombie, Geniearth promises gripping battles, social commentary, and a deep dive into human evolution and power struggles. The first volume sets the stage for an intense conflict between rival factions.
