A new serialization titled "GALAXIAS" started in the 32nd issue of "Weekly Shonen Magazine," released on the 17th. The author, Ao Hatesaka, who also works as an illustrator under the name omao, has collaborated with top-tier artists, creating the cover and music video for Ayase's MIKUNOYOASOBI and Ado's DIGNITY. This marks his debut as a serialized manga artist. Hatesaka expressed his joy, saying, "I always wanted to become a manga artist and drew illustrations as training. Every project holds fond memories."

Ao Hatesaka won the highest award, the Special Prize, in the 2022 "Weekly Shonen Magazine Newcomer Manga Award," the oldest of the many newcomer manga awards. The "Special Prize" is rarely awarded, making it a remarkable achievement, and Hatesaka's work received the highest score in history (according to the editorial department). The award-winning work "GALAXIAS" has now been enhanced for serialization.

The story is a new-generation battle fantasy featuring a super-dragon battle spectacle. The one-shot that won the Grand Prize and was praised by the judges, including both authors of "Blue Lock," who served as judges for the 2022 "Weekly Shonen Magazine Newcomer Manga Award," is available on MagaPoke.
