Recycled Brain Part Two Launches Globally as Author Takahiro Yonemura Reaches 70th Publication Milestone

The global release of Recycled Brain Part Two marks a significant creative milestone for engineer and author Takahiro Yonemura, Ph.D., representing his seventieth published title and continuing his career-long exploration of the connections between science, art, and emotion through storytelling. The Recycled Brain saga, which began as a reflection on memory and technology, has evolved into a meaningful dialogue between Japanese and American cultural perspectives, with Part Two expanding the philosophical core of the series while deepening its visual storytelling through collaboration with Japanese manga artists.

Yonemura's approach to storytelling captures the essence of his work's theme, describing each story as a dialogue between the human heart and the logic that steers it. His humorous yet respectful perspective on technology is evident in his comments about artificial intelligence, noting that while he experiments with AI daily, he maintains traditional methods for his artistic creations. This balance between technological innovation and human creativity forms the foundation of Recycled Brain's exploration of humanity's relationship with emerging technologies.

The release coincides with new creative projects in Japan, reinforcing Yonemura's belief that science and imagination can progress together. His earlier English-language publication, Beast Code from 2022, marked his first U.S. publication and, while unrelated in narrative to Recycled Brain, shares the same science-driven sense of wonder and emotional depth that characterizes his body of work. The first Recycled Brain volume received positive recognition from U.S. Review of Books, which highlighted its successful balance of technological themes with human elements.

Recycled Brain Part Two is available through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org, published under the EigoMANGA imprint with a publication date of January 25, 2026. The 172-page graphic novel falls within the manga, science fiction, and graphic novel categories, priced at $19.95 USD and featuring returnable distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor. This growing collection of science-inspired fiction represents Yonemura's ongoing contribution to cross-cultural literary connections, building bridges between readers in Japan and the United States through stories that examine the intersection of artificial intelligence, physics, and creative media.
