Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is a manga by Uoto, which was serialized in Shogakukan’s Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine from September 2020 to April 2022. It won the first prize at the 26th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2022. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed it in English, describing the story:
In fifteenth-century Europe, heretics are being burned at the stake. Rafal, a brilliant young man, is expected to enter university at an early age and study the era’s most important field, theology. But Rafal values Reason above all else, which leads him both to the shocking conclusion that the Earth orbits the Sun, and into the hands of the Inquisition!
A decade later, two members of the Watch Guild, the dour young Oczy and the cynical Gras, find a hidden stone chest that details the secrets of the universe Rafal left behind. Dare they try to change their own stars by selling the heretical texts, or would that only lead to the stake and the fire?
