In a futuristic Japan, astrologist Tsuneo Ooguro has achieved something monumental: he discovered a new planet from another universe. This discovery catapults the professor into the public eye, where he receives accolades, acclaim, and the right to name the planet. He decides to name it after his daughter, Remina, thrusting the shy girl into an uneasy life of stardom. Planet Remina behaves oddly. Its movements are unpredictable and it shows no clear orbital patterns. More mysteriously, any star it approaches soon vanishes. The enigma deepens when Professor Ooguro's assistant claims that planet Remina has stopped moving and looked him directly in the eye. Before going mad, the assistant announces one final thing: the planet is now heading toward Earth. Soon, planet Remina enters the solar system, leaving a trail of emptiness and causing worldwide panic. In an instant, popular adoration transforms into hostility; the populace declares that the Ooguros have orchestrated this disaster and must be destroyed to avert it. Now deemed Public Enemy No. 1, Remina must escape a rabid population, all while the looming threat of the hellstar approaches. Included one-shot: Okuman Bocchi. "Jigokusei Remina" was published in English as "Remina" by VIZ Media on December 15, 2020. The series was published in Spanish by ECC Comics on August 26, 2015, and in Polish by Japonica Polonica Fantastica in July 2014.
