World Piece, Vol. 3 by Josh Tierney is a dynamic addition to the manga genre, published by VIZ Media LLC on September 12, 2023. This 224-page volume presents a basketball-infused space opera that follows 16-year-old Lucas Densen as he navigates a strange new realm while protecting Earth. Faced with the Nurulans, aliens responsible for shrinking planets, Lucas must forge an unlikely alliance with a rebellious Nurulan named Exxo to confront the challenges ahead.
