Manga will be available for free

Viz Media announced during its Weekly Shonen Jump panel at Comic-Con International on Thursday that it will publish Kento Shinohara's Astra Lost in Space manga online for free. The manga will be available "soon."

Shinohara (Sket Dance) launched the manga in May on Shueisha's Shōnen Jump Plus app. The manga is launching simultaneously with its own voice drama.

Viz Media began posting free manga chapters on its website in English last month. New chapters are published daily, though most will only be available for a limited time. The company plans to add more series regularly.
