Dark Horse Manga has announced that The Credits Roll into the Sea by John Tarachine is getting an English translation by Jocelyne Allen and a March 2026 release.
Just what are you going to do with the rest of your life? It’s a question everyone must answer, no matter their age. Umiko Chino is a 65-year-old retired woman in mourning for her late husband. Remembering how they used to watch films together, Umiko goes to the movie theater for the first time in years, where she meets Kai, an attractive, ambiguous young man who studies filmmaking at a nearby art school.
They seem to have nothing in common except for this: both of them enjoy looking at how the audience reacts to a movie more than the movie itself at times. Kai believes Umiko has the same deep desire he possesses to experience how people respond to something they made, and challenges her to risk everything by discovering that thrill.
Soon, Umiko surprises herself by enrolling in the same film school as Kai. But sailing into this new sea, she’s suddenly inside the currents of her fellow students’ lives, a much younger generation that she struggles to understand, driven by their own passions and relationships. Who’s experienced in life, and is it old age or observation that brings wisdom?
Does what you’re looking for change when you look with your eyes instead of through a camera lens?
The Credits Roll into the Sea Volume 1 is 168 pages and will arrive on March 03, 2026.
