The anime "My Next Door Galaxy" will be broadcast from spring 2023. It is a work serialized in "good! Afternoon". It is a heartwarming sci-fi love comedy about a struggling manga artist who lost his parents and is raising his younger sister and brother on his own, and a young lady who comes from an isolated island to work as his assistant! I'm personally very excited about this anime, and the original work is guaranteed to be interesting! Here is a quick summary of what the story of My Next Door Galaxy is about! (Beware of spoilers!)
Story 1: An Unsuccessful Girl Manga Artist and Her Princess Assistant
After graduating from high school, Ichiro Kuga loses his father and parents, and decides to support his younger sister and brother on his own, living off the royalties from his manga artist debut and the rental income from the apartment he is left with. Although he is a girl manga artist and has a serialized work, his manga is not very popular and he is constantly chasing deadlines day and night. One day, a beautiful and otherworldly young lady, Shiori Goshiki, comes to him as a temporary assistant.
Story 2: Overcoming the Battlefield
Shiori had almost no experience drawing manga and was clearly out of touch with the world. However, she was an excellent assistant. From what I've heard, Shiori was a sheltered young lady who had never read manga until she was 19 due to strict family policies. Anyway, thanks to her excellent assistant, they should have been able to meet the deadline with ease. However, when an unwritten manuscript was found, the two entered a battlefield where they had to stay up all night.
Story 3: Pricked by a thorn and married! ?
The two somehow make it in time for the deadline, but due to their physical limitations, they collapse and fall asleep. When Ichiro wakes up, he sees a knife stuck in Shiori's body. As he quickly tries to remove the knife and touches Shiori, Ichiro feels the universe. In fact, the knife was a part of Shiori's body. According to Shiori, if they touch the thorn, they will make a vow to be together in life and become married. She is from a certain isolated island, but that island is the island of the shooting star people. Shiori was loved as a princess there, but after learning about the greatness of the manga, she made up her mind and left the island. At first, Ichiro was confused by the setting, but the story was undeniably true.
Story 4: The Thorn's Control Contract is Absolute!
A man who touched the thorn and became married to the princess would become ill if he became physically distant from her or if the princess felt uncomfortable. This was due to the thorn's contract, and it was a de facto control contract that was extremely disadvantageous to the man. In fact, Shiori knew about the contract, but it was the first time she had actually seen it, and she felt sorry. However, as long as there is no physical contact or physical distance, it is okay, so Shiori moves into the apartment Ichiro manages.
Story 5: Going out with Shiori
For Shiori, a naive young lady, there are many things outside the island that she has never seen before. Because of the contract, Ichiro will be harmed if they get too far away, so the two go shopping together. However, Shiori feels sorry for causing Ichiro so much trouble and wishes she had never left the island. However, Ichiro felt that Shiori's passion for manga was genuine, and realized that she had made great efforts to get here. Ichiro begins to want to help Shiori somehow.
Story 6: Shiori confesses her love
The control contract with Toge is a troublesome one that reacts to even the smallest things, so the two continue to interact and verify how much it reacts to and how much is okay. It just looked like a couple flirting with each other. After that, she deepens her interactions with Ichiro's sister, Machi, and brother Fumio. The chemistry between the two seems to be surprisingly good. At that time, Shiori accidentally says that she likes Ichiro. Although she knows that in normal manga, the standard is for the relationship to develop over about 10 volumes with mutual unrequited love, she feels uneasy when a woman close to Ichiro is getting along well, and she can't stop thinking about the other person, so she wants to fall in love with him completely.
Story 7: They're going out
Ichiro is a hard-working man who lost his parents at a young age. Perhaps because of his circumstances, he doesn't have the luxury of getting married or dating, and he's also negative about engagements that are decided without his consent. Moreover, he is a manga artist, whose income and hours are unstable, and he's not selling well. But he has fallen in love with her, so he asks her to go out with him. They started dating happily without any dragging because of their mutual unrequited love.
Story 8: The two deepen their bond after dating
The two started dating without even going on a single date, but they deepened their relationships with Ichiro's family, the residents of the apartment, and people connected to manga artists, and experienced various things such as their first visit to the zoo, cherry blossom viewing, and a hot spring trip on Christmas. In the manga, Shiori tries to be an assistant to another manga artist and experiences a hellish situation just before the deadline, and experiences things she has never experienced before, deepening her bond with Ichiro.
Story 9: The family home is moving!
Shiori came from a certain island, overcoming opposition. She was originally the princess of the Shooting Star People, and the islanders did not want her to leave. Meanwhile, someone who could be called Shiori's nemesis arrives. That is her mother, Goshiki Miyako. Due to Miyako's strict and inflexible educational policy, she was raised as a sheltered daughter who was not allowed to read manga or experience anything that would be experienced in a normal family. When Miyako found out that Shiori had married Ichiro, she tried to take her back to the island without asking for permission.
Story 10: Contract terminated! ?
Miyako, who is trying to take Shiori back to the island without asking for permission, and Shiori, who has finally gotten used to life on this side, are naturally at odds. The conversation is at a stalemate and they are in a situation where they can't understand each other at all, but Ichiro points out that Shiori has been working hard up until now and gives her a one-year grace period. However, when they hear that there is a way to terminate the control contract, which makes her sick even if she is away from him for a short time, they decide to terminate that contract alone.
Story 11: If you cut ties, will you lose love too?
The ritual to remove the thorns requires special tools, and staff will be dispatched to oversee the contract cancellation ceremony at a later date. The contract can be cancelled, but Shiori worries that Ichiro's affection for her is due to the control contract of the thorns and that his feelings will disappear once the ritual is over, and at the same time, Ichiro worries that his feelings for Shiori will disappear once the control contract of the thorns ends.
Story 12: The control contract ends!
When Ichiro removes the invisible thorns with a special tool, he feels as if his bond with Shiori has been severed. Shiori timidly asks if she still loves him. Even after the control contract is gone, Ichiro still loves Shiori, and their worries were completely unfounded. Machi and Fumio are overjoyed that Shiori has returned, and their normal daily lives return, and the two of them start hanging out and going on dates as lovers.
Story 13: Cancellation Decision...
After that, Ichiro is told by his editor that the girl's manga he is serializing will be canceled. Although Ichiro and Shiori's relationship is going well, Ichiro is depressed that he will become unemployed from being an unsuccessful manga artist. Meanwhile, Shiori wins the Promising Young Award and their lives are divided. Ichiro is moved and frustrated by Shiori's work, which leads to further motivation.
【Galaxy Next Door】Story Introduction Summary
Here is a brief introduction to the story of Galaxy Next Door!! It's a heartwarming and heartwarming romantic comedy, and I think it's soothing and can be watched over and over again! It's unusual for a romantic comedy in that the characters become lovers early on and the story follows afterwards, but it's a really interesting and good work. I think it's the type of work that would be interesting even if it was made into an anime, so I definitely recommend watching it!
