On a distant colony mistakenly believed to be Terra by its inhabitants, Jomy's world is turned upside down when the Mu ask him to become their leader. Can Jomy, with his emerging telepathic powers, lead the Mu back home, back to Terra?

A SHOJO BEAT HOT LIST SELECTION

To Terra features the kind of over-the-top space opera and sci-fi exemplified by Leiji Matsumoto's Galaxy Express or some of Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix volumes; sprawling and epic in scope but never forgetting to pay attention to the intricacies of human emotion and interaction. An outstanding addition to the pantheon of great manga.””
