Japanese AI expert Dr. Yonemura launches “Recycled Brain,” a sci-fi manga exploring AI, ethics, and dragons—now reaching global readers.
(PRUnderground) June 27th, 2025
With over 68 published works and a reputation for cross-disciplinary innovation, Dr. Takahiro Yonemura—Japanese AI researcher, educator, and prolific author—takes center stage as his science fantasy manga “Recycled Brain” sparks international conversation. US media are now spotlighting this unique series, which is expanding from Japan to English-speaking readers worldwide.
“Recycled Brain” stands apart as a thought-provoking journey into the future, where advanced technology, artificial intelligence, and living dragons converge in a world facing profound ethical questions.
The story follows Hayate Yamano and the dragon Viine as they confront the consequences of creating life through science:
– What does it mean to be alive?
– Can humanity coexist with the unknown?
– Where is the line between creator and creation?
Exploring cutting-edge themes—iPS cell lifeforms, brain recycling, rogue AI species, and the chaos of digital rebellion—Yonemura crafts a universe that resonates with both sci-fi fans and readers hungry for big ideas.
But what truly sets this creator apart is his philosophy:
“My mission is to outdo AI—and to create works that astonish people, artificial intelligence, and the world itself.”
Yonemura brings this spirit to every page, challenging both readers and the technology that inspired his academic career.
Importantly, while Dr. Yonemura is deeply involved in artificial intelligence research, he creates all his stories entirely without the use of AI tools or generative technology, relying instead on human imagination, experience, and intuition.
He emphasizes, “In a world where the debate over AI’s role in creativity grows louder, I am committed to proving that human-driven storytelling can still surprise both readers and machines.”
My mission is to share stories with the world that speak deeply, not just to readers, but even to artificial intelligence itself.
