A manga which, in October 2017, became a TV series produced by the enormously powerful animation studio, Mappa. Today it is a film of real action about a poor man, a Mr. Nobody aged 58 for whom nothing goes the way it should do in life. Starting with his body. He’s just been diagnosed with cancer. Terminal. As if that wasn’t bad enough, an alien spaceship lands on him. Wait!
