Since the anime adaptation of A Star Brighter Than the Sun has just been announced, it is understandable why the cast and staff have not yet been decided. Fans can expect more details about the anime to be released in the near future.
A Star Brighter Than the Sun started serialization in Shueisha’s Bessatsu Margaret magazine in June 2021. The manga is written and illustrated by Kazune Kawahara. The author has previously worked on the following:
- My Love Story!!
- Suteki na Kareshi
- Aozora Yell
- Sensei!
- Ai no Tame ni
The success of these titles proves that Kazune Kawahara is an exceptionally talented manga artist. Kazune Kawahara specializes in romance, so it’s hardly surprising that his latest manga belongs to the same genre.
A Star Brighter Than the Sun has also received a couple of nominations, the first one being for the 12th Anan Manga Award in 2021. The manga did not win the initial award, but it managed to win the 14th edition in 2023. Additionally, many people consider A Star Brighter Than the Sun to be among the best ongoing shojo manga.
What Is A Star Brighter Than the Sun About?
Viz Media describes the series:
“Sae has always been taller and stronger than the average girl. Koki used to be smaller and weaker than the average boy. But now that he’s in high school, he’s tall and super popular! Will their childhood friendship rekindle…and maybe develop into something more?”
The manga adds a nice twist to the romantic story of Sae. After she finds out about Koki’s crush, Sae decides to suppress her feelings and get rid of her romantic feelings. Just when things start to go well, Sae accidentally texts Koki that she has a crush on someone else. This reveal changes everything and leads to the beginning of an exciting tale of romance.
