The first three volumes of 'Asteroid in Love' are now free to read on Manga Time Kirara Carat, celebrating asteroid Daianji's discovery.
Manga Time Kirara Carat recently announced that the first three volumes of Quro's popular manga, Asteroid in Love (originally Koisuru Asteroid), are available for free reading. This limited-time offer runs until September 23, 2026, celebrating the recent discovery of asteroid Daianji.
This initiative allows fans to dive into the early chapters of Asteroid in Love, captivating audiences since its debut in January 2017 and concluding its serialization in June 2024. This free access includes significant content that sets the scene for the beloved slice-of-life narrative, making it easier for new readers to engage with the series.
Asteroid Daianji was discovered by the Come On! Impacting Asteroids (COIAS) team using data from the Subaru Telescope located at Mauna Kea Observatory. The asteroid, officially labeled 2015 FX 488 and given the number #865364, was named in honor of a fifth-year student at Okayama Daianji Junior High School, as recognized by the International Astronomical Union's Working Group on the Naming of Small Objects (WGSBN) in its recent bulletin on September 7, 2026.
This isn't the first time that Asteroid in Love and asteroids have been linked. Quro's work has gained attention not only for its storytelling but also for having previous asteroid designations connected to the manga’s characters and settings, enriching the series' appeal and context. Fans of the manga might appreciate the personal touch of having asteroids named after key elements from the story.
The decision to offer the first three volumes for free serves as a promotional strategy to capitalize on the interest generated by the recent astronomical event. The manga’s themes of friendship, adventure, and the cosmos resonate well with audiences interested in both anime and astronomy, potentially drawing in viewers who are less familiar with the series.
This promotion aligns perfectly with the historical context of asteroid Daianji’s naming, creating a synergy that may encourage interest and engagement with both the manga and its underlying themes. As there has been substantial growth in the anime and manga community, initiatives like this bridge gaps between different content types, appealing to diverse interests.
Fans and newcomers alike are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to explore Quro's Asteroid in Love. The promotional offer provides an excellent entry point for readers, and its timing capitalizes on the excitement surrounding the asteroid's discovery.
For those looking to catch up on the series or to start fresh, now is the perfect time.
