A Galaxy Next Door centers around the life of Ichiro Kuga, a struggling traditional manga artist falling behind the trends while the industry shifted to digital. He’s not only struggling in his manga career but also has to take care of his two younger siblings since their father’s passing. It became increasingly hard for him to balance work and home life when his two assistants quit to follow their own dreams. Just as he was about to give up, he meets the beautiful and scarily competent Shiori Goshiki who applies as his new assistant. But there is something mysterious about Shiori and his world turned upside down when she suddenly declares they are engaged to be married.
