In the depths of space, where realism meets adventure, Eisner Award-nominee Kenji Tsuruta brings readers Captain Momo’s Secret Base Volume 1. Translated by Dana Lewis, this captivating story takes us on a unique slice-of-life journey through the naked depths of the cosmos.

Meet Moshi-Moshi Momo, a diligent worker who operates from her cozy den amidst a sea of books and papers. However, her workspace is unlike any other, as it resides within a starship. In this futuristic era of 3019 AD, Momo embraces the convenience of remote work, relying on the power of relativity to connect with her colleagues through Zoom meetings that require half an hour to simply ask a question.

In this fascinating universe, the concept of casual work attire has evolved to new heights. Momo finds herself mostly discarding her captain’s uniform, and sometimes even her clothes altogether, as she navigates the challenges of interstellar freighter, the Blue Chateau. Battling against interstellar tedium, company protocols, dwindling battery power, and her mischievous cat Grandpa John, Momo will take you on a captivating journey.

Amidst the vast expanse of space, Momo’s secret to maintaining her sanity lies in her abundant reading material and a crate of peach liqueur. As she embarks on the long journey past Proxima Centauri, Captain Momo proves Newton’s theory right – a body at rest will indeed remain at rest.

Prepare to be taken away by the ingenious storytelling of Tsuruta as he combines action, humor, and the everyday challenges of life even in the depths of space. Captain Momo’s Secret Base Volume 1 is a must-read for those seeking an unconventional adventure filled with heart, laughter, and the unpredictable antics of a very ornery cat.
