A review by meepelous
Planetes, Volume 1 by Makoto Yukimura

3.0

While this volume was full of pretty interesting ideas and great art, the author's immaturity when it came to relationships with and depiction of women did end up knocking it down a star. While this is certainly in part due to personal bias, calling out Yukimura;s propensity towards cliche in this area is a fairly objective criticism IMHO.

That said, I really did enjoy a lot that this manga had to offer both graphically and idea wise. I will probably pick up the next volume.
