Created by the manga artist duo TALI, comprised of writer Takafumi and artist Ginko, the story of Moon Cider (Draft) is set on the Moon, where humanity has established a stable existence. However, their peace is shattered when a mysterious entity known only as “It” begins preying on humans.
TALI, known for works such as Do Humans at the End of the World Need Civilization? and Katagiri-san, the Last-Minute Blocker, first debuted in Gangan in 2009 and won the Square Enix Manga Award. Their serialization debut followed in 2012 with 6 no Trigger in Gessan, and they have remained active in the manga industry since.
