What is Koisuru Asteroid?#
Koisuru Asteroid (also known as Asteroid in Love) is a lighthearted comedy that follows Mira, a high school student with a lifelong dream of joining an astronomy club. This passion stems from a promise she made as a child to a man she met to discover new asteroids. However, upon entering high school, Mira discovers a hurdle: the astronomy club was abolished the previous year and has been merged with the earth sciences club.
If you are looking for a charming series about pursuing childhood dreams and the wonders of the night sky, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When asking “Is the anime finished?”, the answer depends on whether you are looking for a completed production or a completed story. The Asteroid in Love anime aired in 2020 and is a complete production in its own right. However, if you are looking for a satisfying conclusion to the overall narrative, you will likely need to turn to the source material.
The manga, Koisuru Asteroid, ran from January 2017 until it concluded in June 2024. Because the manga continued for several years after the anime’s release, the anime only covers a portion of the journey. For those who want to see the full resolution of Mira’s story and the fate of the astronomy club, continuing with the manga is essential. You can buy the Koisuru Asteroid manga here.

Koisuru Asteroid is best suited for viewers who enjoy low-stress, educational comedies. Its primary appeal lies in its blend of school life and genuine astronomy.
