Synopsis

In fifteenth-century Europe, heretics are being burned at the stake. Rafal, a brilliant young man, is expected to enter university at an early age and study the era's most important field, theology. But Rafal values Reason above all else, which leads him both to the shocking conclusion that the Earth orbits the Sun, and into the hands of the Inquisition!

A decade later, two members of the Watch Guild, the dour young Oczy and the cynical Gras, find a hidden stone chest that details the secrets of the universe Rafal left behind. Dare they try to change their own stars by selling the heretical texts, or would that only lead to the stake and the fire?

Well-writtenChi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite (19)

About the Movement of the Earth is a nice story about humanity's purpose told through the struggle for heliocentrism. It goes through the lives of its multiple main characters while they fight for this cause, each having their own personal struggles, covering different themes alongside the main one.

The themes are brought up thoroughly in long dialogue that are tied into the story itself. The characters talk A LOT about philosophical ideas in these blatant lecture-style ramblings (?). It feels more like the characters are having debates in the middle of whatever's happening in the story. But more often than not, it does feel quite natural. ...

Preliminary (Unknown/62 eps)

About the Movement of the Earth is a historical manga, a rather underappreciated genre in the medium. But branding it merely as such takes away its allure – despite it being set in 15th Century Poland and exploring a historical finding that is commonplace knowledge now, the appeal of its central theme is both universal and timeless.

FunnyChi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite (22)

This is a weird little manga. I very much enjoyed my time with it, though. TL;DR, it's not an amazing story, it's really not a good art book but it was fantastic as what is almost a philosophical text.
The story focuses on a range of characters who become entranced by the theory of heliocentrism in a geocentric world and are subsequently hunted by the inquisition. They all share their passion for knowledge and truth and struggle against their faith in the face of what they know to be heretical ideas.
Oh, right, also a warning. It's a very graphic manga very quickly.

The major downside of ...
