Mone Sorai Launches Side Series of "Our Not-So-Lonely Planet Travel Guide" on July 7

Mone Sorai's series "Our Not-So-Lonely Planet Travel Guide" (Bokura no Hitoritabi) is expanding with a brand-new side manga. The eagerly anticipated spinoff, "Bokura no Tabi no Yukuseki wa" (Where Our Journey Will Lead), will officially launch on July 7. This exciting news was announced by Anime News Network on June 23 and quickly resonated within the anime/manga community.
So what will this side series offer? The main manga follows the unexpected encounter of two solitary travelers and their journeys together. The spinoff will be set in the same universe but focus on the journey of different characters. Mone Sorai, as if to crown the series' success, promises readers new routes and undiscovered stories. Considering the warm, heartfelt atmosphere of the main series, this side story seems poised to be just as sincere.
A brief note about the author: Mone Sorai is a mangaka known especially for works themed around daily life and travel. She previously made a name for herself with projects like "Yama to Inaka no Tabi". The original series stood out for emphasizing the characters' emotional journey rather than tourist spots, described by readers as a "soothing reading experience." Whether the spinoff will preserve this successful formula is already a topic of curiosity.
The new series will be released digitally and in print in Japan. However, international licensing agreements have not yet been announced. Still, considering that Our Not-So-Lonely Planet Travel Guide has been translated into English and other languages, it seems likely the spinoff will also reach global readers soon. Fans are already greeting the news with excitement and eagerly awaiting July 7.
Finally, following this announcement, mangaka Mone Sorai is expected to share more hints on her social media accounts. Details such as whether the spinoff can be read independently of the main series or how long it will run have yet to be clarified. If you too are a fan of warm, travel-themed manga, we suggest marking July 7 on your calendar!
