Snowball Earth is based on the Shogakukan-published manga by Yuhiro Tsujitsugu. Viz Media describes the synopsis as such:
Yukio was destroyed in battle and Tetsuo survived in an escape pod. After eight years in cold sleep, the escape pod finally lands back on Earth. But when Tetsuo emerges he finds a world in ruins, entirely frozen beneath a blanket of ice and snow—snowball Earth! What happened to humanity, how did the planet freeze over, and will Tetsuo be able to keep his last promise to Yukio?
The Snowball Earth manga started serialization in Shogakukan’s seinen magazine Monthly Big Comic Spirits in 2021 and will release its 11th volume on April 1, 2026 (JST).. It was the recipient of the Spirits Award in 2019.
