Eh, this one was alright. Definitely catered for younger audiences, but I always love to check out new sci-fi mangas. I'll continue to the 2nd volume to see if it picks up.

Typically when I review shonen manga, it comes with a qualifier. “I liked it well enough for a shonen manga.” In this case, however, I just flat out liked the book. The art was excellent, the characters are well established, and the plot is intriguing. Plus, it was laugh out loud funny on multiple occasions. And, since the entire series is only 5 volumes long instead of 500, I actually might read past volume 1. All in all, one of my favorite mangas I’ve read in the past few years.

My library clerk and I devoured this series–it was so, so, so good! I think I can say that it is one of my favorite sci-fi series ever. The concept is intriguing (a group of students on an interstellar field trip get abandoned in space) and that is just the beginning of so much. Highly recommend!
