Phew, this was a heavy read, just like the first one, but for some reason I had more trouble with it this time. Maybe also because we just kept switching between characters and I couldn't follow it all the time. Sometimes it was just plain boring, other times it was just gorgeous.

All in all, still an amazing volume and still a series that I really like and would recommend.

I really enjoyed Planetes. It’s sometimes serious, other times funny.  For most of both books, I felt that the story was episodic. However, the ending tied everything together and elevated the work. 

Warning: the sound effects and non-word vocalizations are not translated.  They are left in katakana characters.

Is this really the end of the series? Because a lot of things weren't tied up.

My review for this is very similar to the first volume. But I love love love this series and it just hits all the things I love: space, hard sci fi and slice of life. Some of these stories weren’t as good as the first volume but still stellar.
