Asadora! tells the story of Asa Asada's life, starting in post-war Japan, and spanning into the then-present year 2020, when a large monster rampages through Tokyo. The story begins in 1959 when Asa looks for a doctor for her mother in labor, only for her to run into a burglar and be held for ransom. When Typhoon Vera hits Japan, Asa and her kidnapper must work together to survive.
In 2021, Asadora! won the Lucca Comics Award for Best Manga Series.
