Astra Lost in Space is a work that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump+ and has already been completed. After the serialization ended, the story became a hot topic due to its excellent story, and it even won the grand prize in the This Manga is Amazing! magazine. It has been decided that Astra Lost in Space will be made into an anime starting in July 2019. It is a complete work in 5 volumes, so if you are interested, please take a look. This time, we will introduce Luca Esposito.
What kind of person is Luca Esposito?
Luka is a small, cheerful person who can quickly become friends with anyone. When the mysterious sphere appeared, he thought it was some kind of performance, and was the first to touch it himself, and was sent flying into space. He was supportive of Kanata from the beginning, and his parents are politicians. He treats both men and women equally, and joins in Kanata and the others' pranks. In the future, he wants to go into the arts.
Luca Esposito and Ulger Zweig
Ulger's brother and Luca's father
Luca's father was a senator and was one of the people who opposed the Genome Management Act. Ulgar's older brother was a journalist who was pursuing Luca's father, Marco Esposito. Ulgar lived a lonely life in the family, unloved by anyone, except his older brother Finn, who doted on Ulgar and Ulgar loved him dearly. In the midst of all this, his brother committed suicide. However, Ulgar could not help thinking that it was not suicide, and he began to think that it might be related to the case his brother, a journalist at the time, was pursuing - the allegations of illegal donations by Marco Esposito. He began to consider taking revenge on Luca's father, Marco Esposito.
Ruka's Gender IS
When Urgar finds out that Ruka's father was Marco Esposito, he points the gun he had at Ruka to avenge his brother. In the midst of all this, Ruka begins to talk about how his father wouldn't care if he killed him. When asked why, Ruka begins to take off his top half of his body. Ruka then begins to talk about his gender. He is IS (intersexual), and is both male and female. That's why his father doesn't pay him any attention and only loves his younger brother. He also tells him that he is adopted. By the way, I am registered as a man.
A slightly strange relationship between the two
After that exchange between the two, a tsunami suddenly comes and the two are swept away. Ruka somehow manages to hang on to a tree. He barely manages to hold onto Uruga, but Uruga lets go and is swept away. Kanata comes to their rescue from the sky and rescues the two safely. However, their relationship has changed a little since then, and Ruka now shows her feminine side and teases Uruga whenever something happens.
The Truth About Luca Esposito
The Clone of an Artist
Luka was adopted by Marco Esposito, who could not have children, but his real father was a famous artist named Felice Gemma. In fact, all the members of B5 were clones of someone, and Zack's original researched memory transplantation, and he was thinking of taking over their bodies and gaining eternal life. However, because the Genome Management Act was enacted, if it was discovered that they were making clones, it would become a crime. So they thought of making their clones look like they had an accident and killing them. Felice Gemma, who is the original of Luca, is interested in humans who are neither male nor female, but transcend gender, and asked Kitri's original to create a body that is an IS.
Hometown is Astra
At the end of the story, there is a scene in which the readers are informed that their hometown is Astra. I was very surprised because I thought it was a story about returning to Earth. The background setting from there was very interesting and convincing. The Earth is currently in an ice age due to the impact of a meteorite. Upon learning this, the government begins a plan to migrate to a planet called Astra. A mysterious sphere called a wormhole is useful in this process. The wormhole makes it easy to travel between Astra and Earth. However, a great war using wormholes begins in the world, and humanity abandons the wormhole. Then, in order to hide the existence of this sphere from the world, they pretend that the migration from Earth to Astra, which would have been impossible without the wormhole, never happened. To do this, the Gregorian calendar is also returned 100 years, creating a false history.
Luca Esposito after his return
Regarding Luca after his return, there is no information on what he is actually doing, whether he is living as a man or a woman. However, since he goes to Yun-Fat's concert with her and lets Huni stay at his house, it is certain that they are still in touch and are doing well. However, he also appears on TV after his return, so it seems that he has a loyal fanbase.
