The Break of Dawn manga
As mentioned above, Break of Dawn (ぼくらのよあけ, Bokura no Yoake) is a SF manga created by Tetsuya Imai. It was released monthly afternoons from January to October 2011, with all chapters collected into two tankōbon volumes.
The action takes place in the year 2049, when a collision with a large comet is expected. The focus is on Yūma, a boy obsessed with space and collision, and his robot Nanako, who can only do basic chores.
One day, when Yūma asks Nanako about space, a lost alien ship hacks into the robot’s system. The aliens ask Yūma to help them return home. Needless to say, the aliens are somehow connected to the upcoming collision, but how exactly?
As a side note, Imai is also the author of the award-winning manga Alice & Zoroku (アリスと蔵六, Arisu to Zōroku), which began publication in Tokuma Shoten’s Monthly Comic Ryū magazine in December 2012. Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed the series for an English audience. The manga inspired a TV anime adaptation that premiered in April 2017 and streamed on Crunchyroll and Funimation.
