This is a redrawn version of the 1983 “Night on the Galactic Railroad” manga adaption by Hiroshi Masumura, mangaka of Atagoul. This version is more detailed than its predecessor, and it looks like a cross between an art book and a manga. It is planned to be released in 4 volumes.

This is an anthology that contains 11 of Kenji Miyazawa’s works that were adapted by the mangaka of Atagoul, Hiroshi Masumura, One difference in the adaptations is that most of the humans are turned into cats. Hiroshi’s adaptations would end up inspiring the character design of the 1985 “The Night on the Galactic Railroad” movie and the 2012 “The Life of Budori Gusuko” movie.
