It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits from September 2020 to April 2022, with its chapters collected in eight tankōbon volumes. Set in 15th-century Europe, the series follows the dangerous journeys of scholars who risk their lives to pursue research on the forbidden heliocentric theory.

A 25-episode anime television series adaptation produced by Madhouse aired from October 2024 to March 2025.

Plot

In 15th-century Europe,[b] the Church tightly controls information, and dissent from its doctrine is heresy, punishable by death. Rafal, a child prodigy with a passion for astronomy, is raised by his adoptive father, Potocki, who urges him to study theology. However, Rafal's life changes when he is coerced by Hubert, a heretic scholar, into assisting with research on the Earth's movements. Initially skeptical, Rafal confirms the heliocentric model through his own calculations. Their secret work is discovered by Inquisitor Nowak, who finds Rafal's sketches. Hubert sacrifices himself, giving Rafal a pendant and taking the blame, leading to his execution. Rafal continues the research in secret but is confronted by Potocki, who warns him of the dangers, citing his own past struggles. When Rafal refuses to stop, Potocki reports him to Nowak. At his trial, Rafal refuses to recant and is sentenced to death. Before his execution, he commits suicide using smuggled poppy seeds, and his body is burned.

A decade later, duellists Oczy and Gras are tasked with guarding a heretic during transport, accompanied by Nowak. Gras, an amateur astronomer, records Mars' movements and expects it to complete its revolution. However, Mars unexpectedly retrogrades, frustrating Gras. The heretic reveals the location of a box containing astronomical research and gives Oczy the pendant before dying. Oczy and Gras retrieve the box but Gras is lost when a bridge collapses. Oczy seeks help from Badeni, a demoted priest, who agrees to study the box's contents if Oczy continues Gras' observations. They discover the research on heliocentrism and seek collaborators, enlisting Jolenta, a scholar's assistant, and Piast, a Ptolemaic model researcher. After Piast's death, Badeni completes the theory. However, Nowak investigates, leading to the arrest and execution of Badeni and Oczy. Jolenta, revealed to be Nowak's daughter, is spared by a sympathetic inquisitor, who fakes her death. Meanwhile, Badeni's parish priest discovers he transcribed Oczy's diary on vagabonds' heads.

Twenty-five years later, Schmidt, captain of the Heretic Liberation Force, retrieves Oczy's book under Jolenta's orders. Draka, a Romani woman, finds the book and burns it, reciting its contents to Jolenta in exchange for access to a printing press. When Nowak's forces attack, Jolenta sacrifices herself, allowing Draka and Schmidt to escape. Schmidt's group is betrayed, and they sacrifice themselves to help Draka reach Antoni, a bishop. Draka convinces Antoni to publish the heliocentric research, but Nowak intervenes, killing Antoni and burning the church. Nowak turns the blade on Draka, but she fatally wounds him before succumbing to her injuries. In his final moments, Nowak hallucinates Rafal and realizes his role as the villain of heliocentrism. Draka sends a letter via carrier pigeon before dying.

In 1468, a baker's assistant, Albert Brudzewski, refuses to enroll in university until a priest encourages him. As a child, Albert loved astronomy and shared his observations with his father, who introduced him to Rafal, a fanatical scholar. Rafal took Albert to a gathering of scholars but later murdered Albert's father for refusing to support his forbidden research. Rafal was captured, and Albert, traumatized, initially abandoned astronomy. After speaking with the priest, Albert enrolls in university. At one point, he happens upon Draka's letter being delivered to Potocki's former address, which inspires him to study heliocentrism. After teaching at university for twenty years, he writes a commentary on an astronomy textbook in 1482, influencing future scholars including a young Nicolaus Copernicus in 1491.

He meets Hubert the next day, with Hubert deciding he no longer needs Rafal's help. When Rafal returns home, he finds Nowak, an inquisitor, has found his heliocentric notes. Hubert steps in and says they were his notes that he hid in Rafal's room. Hubert gives Rafal a pendant, before he is executed for heresy. Rafal figures out the pendant reveals the location of Hubert's notes, and inside is a letter telling Rafal to burn them. Rafal starts burning them, but changes his mind.

He explains to Oczy that he has found his purpose through his observations of Mars, which he has been mapping for almost two years. Later Gras begins to panic as he realizes that Mars has started to change direction, and his spirits are shattered seeing the perfectly circular orbit breaking. Oczy talks with fellow duellists and they reveal that Gras did not use to be so positive, and that he attempted suicide after his entire family was killed by a plague. The next day they are tasked with the transportation of a heretic condemned to death.

Because they are not capable of understanding the contents of the box, Gras suggests they bring it to Badeni, the monk who introduced him to Mars. They begin to cross a river on the way to the village when suddenly the bridge collapses, and Oczy is stuck grasping the edge and barely holding onto Gras. Gras tells Oczy he has two choices, either turn over the materials and get closer to heaven, or continue the research and place his faith in the world.

He is obsessed with understanding the motion of the planets and why their orbits retrograde, but the abbot forbids him from continuing his work. One day he spots a forbidden text in the abbot's room, and he is caught attempting to read it. As punishment, the abbot banishes him to a remote monastery and pours hot wax in his eyes. In the present, Badeni changes his mind and says he will analyze the documents, but only if Oczy does observations for him since his eyes are damaged. Oczy initially struggles because of his fear of the sky, but pushes through to try and understand why Gras and the heretic smiled as they died.

Badeni agrees to continue working on the heliocentric theory, but only if Oczy helps, which Oczy agrees to. Jolenta visits home, and it is revealed that Nowak is her father. Badeni and Oczy need someone with resources to continue their work, so Badeni devises a plan to find a willing candidate by posting a difficult problem on bulletin boards, which rich nobles try to solve as a pastime. Kolbe tells Jolenta that Count Piast praised her treatise, which makes Jolenta happy, until Kolbe reveals that he published her work under his name. Count Piast overhears their conversation and asks Jolenta if she wrote the treatise, but pressured by Kolbe, she denies it was her work. Jolenta comes across Badeni's problem and decides to try and answer it.

Badeni asks if they can speak in private, realizing she was the one who solved the problem. Badeni pushes her to consider that the Earth may be moving, which causes her to send them away in fear. Count Piast spots her later and asks why she does not attend the research meetings. He tells her that scripture says women do not belong in academia, but he believes that the interpretation could be wrong. He tells her to bring her treatises to him directly, revealing he knew Kolbe stole her work. The next day Jolenta brings a cautious Badeni to Count Piast to ask for resources, but they are sent away since Count Piast has spent his life trying to prove geocentrism. Count Piast later recounts when he was outcast from his family for pursuing astronomy, being given a golden astrolabe by a dedicated relative who believed in him and pushed him to prove a unified theory of the cosmos.
9"This is What It Means... To Learn Something, I Think"

In a flashback, Piast recounts his professor asking him to continue his work and prove his theory, using a geocentric model and epicycles. Piast turns down the offer, having an inkling of doubt after an expected observation. On his deathbed, the professor asks Piast to tell him the truth when they meet in heaven, and he dies soon after, with Piast feeling compelled to finish his work. In the present, Piast meets with the trio again and says he will let them use his archives, but only if they can observe Venus in its final phase, which was an anomaly Piast observed many years ago. Oczy is the only one with clear enough eyesight to make the observation, but he feels conflicted with how this will affect his faith. The time comes to make the observation, and Oczy observes a full Venus, suggesting a heliocentric model is possible. Piast breaks down and accuses them of lying, but remembering his professor's dying words, he decides to hand over his records so the truth can be found. With the records to continue their research, Badeni tells Jolenta that she should stop helping them for her safety, and she agrees. That night, Piast has a coughing fit and dies looking at the stars, ready to tell his professor the truth.

He later learns that Badeni got his scars from a duel with a former friend who stole his research, and feels conflicted knowing he has killed before. While visiting the library, Grabowski stumbles upon Piast's notes containing all his work, which he dropped the night he died. Badeni is frustrated because no matter what he tries, the records do not make sense with circular orbits. He suddenly has an epiphany after looking at Hubert's necklace that maybe the orbits could be elliptical. He delves deeper into his work, while Oczy works on digging an escape tunnel from their barn to the church and writing his story in his book. Some time later, Oczy finds Badeni staring into the distance, saying that he has completed the heliocentric theory. Elsewhere, the bishop speaks to a new group of inquisitors, saying it is their duty to save the heretics who have been led astray.

Badeni takes them to their shed and shows him his research, claiming it is related to astrology and Mars. Nowak looks through and does not find anything suspicious, but right as he is ready to leave, he spots Hubert's necklace on the desk. Nowak leaves without acknowledging the necklace, making Oczy think he is safe, but Badeni decides they must leave now. They begin burning what they do not need and say their goodbyes. As Oczy is about to escape via the tunnel, he spots the inquisitor carriage in the distance. With not enough time for Badeni to escape, Oczy picks up his sword to fight, allowing Badeni a chance to escape. Badeni says he is making a mistake and he will likely go to hell, but Oczy says heliocentrism is his faith now, and Badeni blesses him before leaving.

When Nowak threatens to stab Oczy in the eye, Badeni finally gives in, taking Nowak to the stone chest of research. Nowak tells Badeni about Rafal, who killed himself at only 12 to save this work. As they are getting ready for their execution, Badeni tells Oczy that one document still remains, the book that he wrote. Relieved that some hope still remains, the two calmly admire the stars and look back on their journey, accepting their death by hanging. Later, the two inquisitor recruits interrogate Jolenta, who is surprised to learn her father is an inquisitor. She pretends she knows nothing, but right as she was about to be released, Antoni forces them to torture her, citing the fact that she is a woman scholar. Antoni starts by pulling out one of her teeth, but the two recruits are apprehensive. One of the recruits then overhears that Antoni is using his accusation of Jolenta to get rid of Nowak, who he sees as a threat. The recruit decides to set her free, telling her she needs to run.

Transliteration: "Watashi no, Banna no Ka?" (Japanese: 私の、番なのか？)		Masato MiyoshiKoji SawaiJanuary 4, 2025 (2025-01-04)
Antoni interrogated the recruit who let Jolenta go, before ordering Nowak to be informed that Jolenta was found guilty of being a heretic and that she was burned at the stake, despite this not being true. When asked who should be burnt at the stake instead, Antoni says to use the recruit who let Jolenta go. Nowak rushes only to see the burning recruit, who he thinks is Jolenta. Antoni lies and says he tried to stop it, giving Nowak Jolenta's gloves and pretending to be sympathetic. A distraught Nowak flashes back to when he first gave Jolenta the gloves, which he got so she could study even when it was cold. Back in the present he breaks down and cries seeing her gloves. Father Grabowski, who sent the tip about Badeni, feels guilt about Badeni being executed. In his study, he finds a letter from Badeni, who asks him to meet with some beggars who he had been giving bread to, offering a poem from Lucretius as payment. When he meets the beggars, they shave their heads and reveal that Badeni tattooed 60 pages of Oczy's book on their heads, leaving Grabowski the choice to keep the hope alive.

Twenty-five years later, soldiers bring in Captain Schmidt, the leader of the Heretic Liberation Front, which is an extremist group that attacks inquisitors and frees accused heretics. An inquisitor interrogates Schmidt until suddenly the two soldiers who captured Schmidt barge in and free Schmidt, revealing they are actually working with Schmidt. They use explosives, something unknown to people of that time, to kill the guards and break into a vault to steal a book. As they leave, several freed heretics ask to join Schmidt's squad, but they end up refusing to partake in his initiation test, which requires them to denounce the holy scripture and the church. Schmidt flashes back to when he was a kid, and how his parents were murdered by his uncle for refusing to denounce the orthodoxy. In the present, they travel to an abandoned village to wait for their leader, and Schmidt asks Frei to decipher the book, asking him to look for the names Oczy or Badeni. Frei is ambushed by a church soldier, forcing him to hide the book in a desk, with the trio eventually running away to regroup and recover the book later. Antoni, now a Bishop, is shown having captured a dark-skinned man with a scar.

Draka is a young woman living in a Romani community, scavenging abandoned villages for fabrics and valuables to trade. She has an excellent memory, drawing maps after only one time visiting. She lives with her uncle Dhruv, who is her only living relative. Despite contributing greatly to her community, she is frustrated that all profits are shared equally and the chief's refusal to improve moneymaking efficiency. In a flashback, she remembers advice her uncle gave her. He asserts that God is not real, and once you accept that, you can find peace by thinking critically and having convictions. Thinking critically about her father, who died while plundering and left only a bloody pile of money for Draka, she concludes that money will give her safety and drive the fear from her heart. Dhruv sneaks out of the village to drink wine, but he is caught by Antoni, who arrests him and threatens to hang him. He offers a young woman in exchange for his life, which Antoni accepts. The next day, Dhruv lures Draka to the abandoned village and tells her to wait, finding Oczy's book hidden inside a house. Understanding its significance, she believes that she can make money from the book. Antoni then arrives, and Dhruv apologizes, saying he will do anything to survive.

Schmidt orders Draka to hand over the book, but she refuses. Determined to change her fate, she burns the book, forcing Schmidt to rely on Draka and her excellent memory to access the contents of the book. On the way to Schmidt's leader, Draka and him discuss their views, agreeing in their disdain for the church orthodoxy, but Schmidt is upset that she does not believe in god. After stopping to appreciate the light of the new day, Schmidt decides to tell Draka their plan. They plan to use the newly invented printing press to publish Oczy's book, with the intention of weakening the influence of the orthodoxy. With the help of the Reformation, they hope to liberate the freedom of information. They arrive at the location of their leader, who is revealed to be a 39 year-old Jolenta.

Damian, now a bishop, scolds a young inquisitor Asch for using brutal methods of torture and burning people at the stake. Damian believes these cruel methods are destroying the people's trust in the orthodoxy, but Asch argues that these methods are necessary to protect the world from heretics, citing the recent attack by Schmidt and his theft of the book. Asch describes how the book was found in an abandoned church and the only identifiable information was a reference to Potocki, which Damian recognizes from his work on the case back when Rafal was arrested. Damian sends Asch to find Nowak, who is employed by Damian but is no longer an inquisitor, instead spending his days drinking over Jolenta, who he still believes to be dead. At first Nowak sends Asch away, but remembering the pain heliocentrism has caused him, he decides to join the investigation, quickly realizing their plan is to mass produce the book. Jolenta makes a deal with Draka, offering her access to their printing press to produce something to sell, which Draka agrees to. Jolenta transcribes the entire book from Draka, feeling like she has reunited with Oczy again.

Schmidt also tells of his reasons, arguing that technology is destroying God's world and causing misery for the people living in it. Draka then learns more about Jolenta's reasons, how she wants to end the orthodoxy and allow for the freedom of expression that has been denied by the church her entire life. Jolenta gives Draka a letter, entrusting her to deliver it, despite Draka's reservations. Schmidt then informs them that two carriages of soldiers are approaching, so Jolenta tells them to flee while she distracts them. Jolenta looks up at the stars and recounts the events of her life, before lighting a large explosive and blowing herself and the soldiers away.

They arrive at the printing press facility, where the rest of the Heretic Liberation Front soldiers are waiting.

They start printing, calling the book On the Movements of the Earth have finished printing, Frei surprises Schmidt by killing all the horses, revealing he has betrayed them. After a brief duel, Schmidt disarms and kills Frei. Without horses to escape, the group weighs their options, whether to all run and hope someone escapes, or work together to allow Draka to escape, who promises to convince Antoni to publish the book.

He kills two, but gets stabbed from behind by Nowak, who passes out from a head wound, eventually waking up and following Draka's footprints. Draka reaches Antoni and pitches the idea of printing books to make money, eventually telling him about the book she wants to publish. While he initially scoffs at her request, he begins to realize how heliocentrism is not suppressed elsewhere. Because his father, who was the former bishop, is no longer around to punish people for heliocentrism, Draka argues the time is right to bring it to the world. After agreeing on how to split the profits, Draka asks for Antoni's carrier pigeon to send Jolenta's letter. Nowak arrives at the church and is shocked to see Antoni with Draka. Antoni explains how heliocentrism is not actually blasphemous, and the suppression was likely started by his father who used to study astronomy. His father only had Nowak deal with heliocentrism and kept all matters off the record, leaving Nowak feel like he had been manipulated.

As Nowak is dying, he has a vision of Rafal. Nowak feels regret, telling Rafal how he finally realized he is the villain of this story.

Realizing she is going to die from her wounds, she feels regret and fear knowing there is no afterlife, until suddenly the rising sun hits her face and fills her with a sense of peace as she dies.

He is asked to deliver bread to a church, where he finds the pastor inside a confession booth. Despite his reservations, the pastor convinces Albert to open up about his past. He describes how he was born a free peasant and was raised by his father, who placed special emphasis on learning. He recalls his father telling him he should always doubt his curiosity, and that learning should always be done to benefit humanity. To help with his studies, his father arranged for a tutor, who turns out to be Rafal. Rafal teaches Albert about the constellations and tries to convince him that it is okay for him to learn because he wants to, even if no one benefits from it. He becomes excited to learn and improves greatly, earning the praise of Rafal. Rafal decides to invite Albert to a meeting of scholars, where ideas can be freely shared and discussed.

Rafal leaves to run an errand, and Albert stays to talk with the other scholars. He suddenly remembers he forgot to record his observations for the day and decides to return home. When he arrives home, he discovers Rafal standing over his dead father. Rafal explains he came to ask for materials his father had about heliocentrism, but his father refused to share them. After his father became angry and threatened to burn the materials, Rafal decided to kill him to save the knowledge, contrasting the Rafal introduced earlier in the story. Rafal is captured by the townspeople and Albert becomes traumatized. In the present, the pastor tells Albert he must pursue his purpose so he will be worthy of God's grace, and suggests he looks at the sky again and considers university. Albert overcomes his trauma and once again appreciates the stars, vowing to pursue truth. Albert walks by the former residence of Potocki, with the current owner receiving the letter sent by Draka. He is confused, not knowing anything about Potocki, and Albert overhears him mention the book title On the Movements of the Earth, which causes him to ponder what that could mean. He would go on to write a commentary of astronomy that was used by Nicolaus Copernicus, who would eventually go on to publish his heliocentric theory, finally ending the journey set forth by Rafal.
