Abrams ComicArts‘ manga-focused imprint for the U.S. market Kana publishes the story in English and describes the story:
Perfect for fans of Moebius, Star Wars, and Katsuhiro Ōtomo, Shiro Kuroi‘s Leviathan Volume One follows a group of students pitted against each other in a brutal battle for survival in the depths of space. The gripping sci-fi survival horror centers around the Leviathan, an enormous spaceship, abandoned in a galaxy far, far away. When looters break into the abandoned ship, they discover the diary of a middle-schooler, Kazuma, who documented the horrific fate of the ship’s passengers.
Along with the looters, the reader will piece together the decades-old tale of an innocent school trip to Earth with a tragic and brutal ending. Trapped in space without enough oxygen left to wait for rescue, Kazuma documents the mental collapse and treachery of his teacher and classmates as they realize that the only hope for survival is the cryopreservation unit at the heart of the ship, which can only fit one person. A bloody battle for survival ensues as friend turns against friend, teacher against student, and each survivor is forced to confront the value of their own life. As the looters read on, they reach a chilling realization—there is still one survivor somewhere inside! One of the top bestselling new manga titles in Japan, Leviathan‘s incredible, brutal illustrations and tightly paced plot will leave readers at the edge of their seats, and linger in their minds long after the last page of each volume.
Kuroi debuted the manga in France via Ki-oon in January 2022, and in Japan in Shueisha‘s Shonen Jump+ service in August 2022. The series ended in February 2023. The manga’s third compiled book volume shipped in Japan in May 2023.
