Description
Book SynopsisGod created the heavens and the Earth -- but, little-known fact, he outsourced the
animals to the office of Heaven's Design Team! This hilarious and educational
manga features weird real-life animals and puts even some humdrum critters in a
strange new light.
On the seventh day, God rested. But it turns out He started getting tired
long before... In fact, when it came time to design the animals, God contracted
the whole thing out to an agency... Heaven's Design Team! They love their
work -- the giraffe, the koala, the ping-pong tree sponge(?!) -- but their divine
client's demands are often vague, and the results are sometimes wild in more
ways than one. Then there's prototyping and testing to worry about, not to
mention Ms. Pluto's penchant for grotesque and Mr. Saturn, who just wants to
make everything look like a horse... But in the end, all creatures great and
small get their due!

Trade Review"It’s rare to come across a manga that feels original, but Heaven’s Design Team, while owing a debt to previous wacky edutainment manga like
Cells at Work, crackles with imagination… Recommended." -Otaku USA Magazine
"A weird manga that has no business being this good... basically what
Cells at Work! does for human biology,
Heaven's Design Team does for zoology." -Anime News Network
"Memorable and highly enjoyable characters... the manga swaps all religious subtext for something simple and enjoyable for people of all backgrounds." -Comicsverse
"Charming, educational, funny, and a breath of fresh air... A silly, feel-good read [that] makes learning fun." -AiPT
