A visionary manga by Japanese author and AI researcher Takahiro Yonemura, Ph.D., Recycled Brain, re-imagines the boundary between myth and biotechnology.
About the Series
In this daring new saga, dragons and beasts are born through cutting-edge iPS cell technology—but their brains are “recycled” from human donors whose memories have been wiped.
Is this the next stage of evolution, or the start of something darker?
Recycled Brain fuses ethics, fantasy, and identity, asking what it truly means to be alive.
Guided by Hayate Yamano—gifted with telepathic empathy—readers journey through a world where biotech extremists clash with those who see hope in the unknown. As Hayate bonds with the dragon Vine, he uncovers truths that will shake humanity’s future.
Author’s Creative Vision
Takahiro is dedicated to handcrafting every page and panel.
I want to create manga that even AI cannot predict—works that spark surprise in both humans and artificial minds. That’s why every story and page in Recycled Brain is created by hand, with no AI involvement. AI supports my promotional efforts, but it is not yet a replacement for the creative process itself.
