The World of Narue (Japanese: 成恵の世界, Hepburn: Narue no Sekai) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tomohiro Marukawa. The series follows Kazuto Izuka, an alien girl named Narue Nanase and the trials and tribulations of the young couple as they get to know each other. The title is taken from A. E. van Vogt's The World of Null-A (非Aの世界, Naru ē no Sekai).
The manga, spanning 12 volumes as of August 2011, is authored by Tomohiro Marukawa and published by Kadokawa Shoten since 2000. The manga was licensed in North America by the now-defunct CPM Manga.[1] In 2014, the manga received the Seiun Award for Best Comic.[2]
An anime television series adaptation ran on MBS between April 4, 2003, and June 28, 2003. Central Park Media licensed and released it in a four-disc DVD collection in 2004 under their US Manga Corps label.[3] Following the 2009 bankruptcy and liquidation of Central Park Media, ADV Films picked up the anime series for release on July 21, 2009.[4] Following the closure of A.D. Vision, the series is now distributed by successors Section23 Films and AEsir Holdings.[5]
