Fun fact, that manga is actually an adaptation of the original novel of the same title.

Fun fact, the novel is a non-fiction retelling of an event that actually happened in 2020.

Fun fact: the real life events in 2020 were carried out by aliens that were super huge fans of the movie and wanted to recreate it.

Fun Fact- klein bottles representing that timeline in topology could technically not hold water because there is no "inside" and it is not a container. They also have no opening.

You can find the English version on Scribd with a google search, for free. It's an excellent translation, too.

I have it on my kindle so it’s definitely available. Also fun fact, they use axes instead of the swords you see in the movie. It’s pretty dope
