Madhouse Animates Tezuka Award Winner Manga ‘Chi: Chikyū no Undō ni Tsuite’
Chi: On the Movements of the Earth is a series that breaks the barriers of shonen, isekai, and other such common genres to reflect on a subject that very few have touched upon.
Set in mid-15th century Poland, the manga focuses on the fate of ‘heretical’ thinkers for their theories that stood against the religious beliefs of that time. The protagonist, Rafal, a genius 12-year-old has to decide if he wants to pursue the truth or live his life in peace while suppressing his curiosity.
Chi: On the Movements of the Earth is set to receive an anime adaptation that will show you the bigotry present in the world during the Middle Ages. Studio Madhouse has taken up the series’ animation production.
