Picked volume one up on a whim based on the back reviews and a quick flick through, telling the story of life in the 2070s after the Earth has started it’s first steps into the Solar System. Told through short vignettes that build a bigger story, I was hooked in, definitely getting vol 2 now.l,

I like this story over Vinland Saga. It's a bit quieter and looser but Makoto Yukimura's expressions and attention to detail still shine.

This was my first Manga and it was fun. I liked his futuristic job was in space debris (as a person who spent a lot of time working on that) but I found the main character highly annoying. Some of the stories worked more for me than others so maybe more a mix of 4s and 2s.
