Uoto began the original Orb: On the Movements of the Earth manga series in Weekly Big Comic Spirits in 2020, with eight volumes released in Japan to date. The TV anime adaptation aired on NHK General TV in Japan for 25 episode from October 2024 to March 2025. Netflix is streaming the series worldwide.

Seven Seas Entertainment releases an English version of the manga and describes the series:

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?
