What’s New

Since 2019, ITER Japan has been publishing a manga series that brings the ITER project to life for a broad audience. 

The story follows Japanese student Taiyô Tenna, who discovers ITER while on a world tour after meeting a French student in Aix-en-Provence. His journey continues through an internship experience at ITER, and then as he returns to Japan to learn more about the advanced fusion technologies developed by Japan’s Domestic Agency for the project. In the eighth volume, just released, he has become a staff member at the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), where he learns about ITER's new baseline scope and schedule and the ways in which Japan's flagship fusion device, JT-60SA is participating.

Explore all volumes of the ITER manga series on the ITER Japan website or download Volume 8 from ITER's Publication Centre. Editions are available in Japanese, English, French and ... Provençal.
