Galaxias (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ao Hatesaka. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from July 2024 to January 2025 and transferred to the Magazine Pocket digital service in February 2025.

More than ten years have passed since the assassination of the supreme leader, the Dragon King. In a corner of the kingdom where "dragonfolk"—people with the ability to grow a tail—live, a human girl named Geo longs for adventure and escaping the reality of life in the countryside.

Geo's life changes forever when she meet a mysterious amnesiac young man, whom she calls Neraid. On the way home, Geo is intercepted by Yerkes, a government dragon knight, who seeks to kill her, revealing that in actuality Geo is the daughter of Yuri Holst, a famous explorer who is being accused of assassinating the Dragon King. Neraid is revealed to be an extremely strong dragonfolk, and helps Geo escaping. He is also looking for Yuri Holst so he and Geo set off on a journey to find him and recover Neraid's memories.
