Viz media has announced the release date for Dendera:
The Haikasoru team is excited to debut Yuya Sato’s DENDERA on February 17th, available everywhere at favorite retailers as well as digitally in an eBook edition! Haikasoru is dedicated to publishing some of the most compelling contemporary Japanese science fiction and fantasy for English-speaking audiences, and this moving novel about an elderly woman’s resilience and her unexpected discovery will definitely captivate!
Inspired by a classic Japanese novel and focusing on an ancient Japanese practice of leading the elderly to die in the mountains during times of drought or famine to insure sufficient resources for the next generation, Sato weaves together an evocative story. In DENDERA, the elderly Kayu is taken by her family and fellow villagers to a snowy mountainside and left to die. But when she wakes up, she finds herself in Dendera, a utopian community built over decades by old women who, like her, were abandoned. Together, they must now face a new threat – a hungry mother bear.
