A sweet and surreal coming-of-age story in which teenager Mia navigates boarding school, her first love, and a cool but dangerous job restoring buildings in space. (Why are there buildings in space? Shhh don’t worry about it, the spaceships look like fish, it’s fine) It got unexpectedly intense at the end and the pacing I think was off a little due to originating as a webcomic, but the art was beautiful and the characters (especially Mia’s school bully and her shipboard friend/coworker Jules) helped everything feel grounded.
