4.5 stars. Tanabe was just soooooo annoying.

But other than that, this was amazing. <3 <3 I really can't wait for the next omnibus to come out, I want to see how the story will go on.

The art is absolutely gorgeous, details, details everywhere, great facial expressions and human anatomy. Good job!

I would recommend this.

Maybe I will write a longer review soon.

I was enjoying it until I got to the first suggestion of one of the protagonist's attraction to a twelve year old. I didn't think to check the warnings and I don't want to read that in what I was hoping this story would be

Surprisingly philosophical, but more of a series of short events rather than one comprehensive story/plot. Wish we got more Yuri and Fee in this volume!

This book is incredibly drawn and tells a compelling story about the perils of obsession. It’s excellent hard sci fi and well worth the read. I kept taking snapshots of the incredibly intricate linework, funny faces, and stunning layouts. I can’t wait to finish the next half!!

Incredible book. The slice of life, space and hard sci fi is just done so magically well. It’s one of my favorite ideas for a main character occupation: they all work in the debris section of a space corporation. They are glorified garbage men and women that go around cleaning up space junk. It uses this to explore humanity and philosophy. I loved loved loved this book. Such an underrated manga and underrated anime adaptation.
