Future-Retro Hero Story is set in the same universe as Outlaw Star–in fact, it is the origins of the Towards Stars setting. A pulp science-fiction series with plenty of humor, action, and adventure to go around, it's the story of Juji Godoh and the ship he inherits from his grandfather, Captain Roger Fortune! Initially serialized until 1992 when Kadokawa was split up, resulting in the work getting discontinued. In 1995, serialization resumed in Shueisha's then new *Ultra Jump* magazine. The manga properly concluded in 1996. Received a popular Radio Drama adaptation that lasted 26 episodes.
