also Yukimura is extremely optimistic about the Space Development, we are already in 2022 and Mars looks still a bit farther than we thought, he definitely overrated development of humankind in the Space and that kills the realism of the manga in certain degree.



Your negative argument is that the author can't accurately predict the future? Lmao. What else? Blade runner and 2001 a Space Odyssey are also bad movies because there are no replicants and no moon bases yet?



That was just one of my multiple negative arguments, specially considering that Planetes is sorted as Hyperrealism. Unlike 2001 or Blade Runner which never tried to be realistic in the first place, they both just show a future a that fits with the intentions of the author and the plot, they could be called bad movies for plenty of other reasons but lack of realism will be a mistake since that never were their intentions.

A different ending. Though I can't say which version was better atm.

Yes...yes! That's what I was searching for! This manga truly is a masterpiece, its depth, ideas, artwork, plot and so on. Loved it

A solid 6 out of 10 series. It's really a refreshing manga in a way how it ended.

Pretty good ending but I think it could have been handled better, especially with how little development the Von Braun voyage ended up getting. Aside from that, this manga is definitely one of my favourites. It has its misses on occasion, but the character development and story progression were really well done. I only wish there was more of it since there wasn't much room for Hachimaki to grow as a character, especially with his romantic interest in Tanabe.



I started reading this manga after I started watching the anime, and I find it funny that all the major gripes I have with the anime aren't even present in the manga. Granted, there were some anime-only episodes I liked such as the one with El Tanika, but I can't comprehend why Sunrise decided to spend more money to make a worse adaptation.

I read the last chapter, thinking that there would be a next one, so the ending definitely caught me off guard. The ending was still touching when I had to go back to read it again lol



My favorite part of this was the character development, especially with Hachimaki and Fee, especially considering that this manga was so short.



Props to the book for diversity too (but I suppose it's a given, considering this is a manga about space). It's really nice how a Japanese author touched on discrimination in America, and it would've probably been around the ~2040s (considering fee is about forty at the end of the book?). I'm really glad that he actually acknowledges it and doesn't brush off discrimination as nonexistent after the civil rights era.



I feel like they're going to get stuck inside the Von Braun for more than seven years lol

How cool would it have been the hear Louis Armstrong in an anime.

Hachi and Ai both taught each other something. It’s been a really great read. I was annoyed by the fact the earliest chapters didn’t seem to be in order, that being said I really like the chapters where a character’s past contrasts with their present. I like that more characters get focus more than just once or not at all.



So the journey to Jupiter chapters interlaced with what happens when Hachi's away (an actual space war and eccentric crewmember Baron).

Can anyone tell my why it says there 27 chapters of this manga when the story ends here?

there is an extra chapter, that was released in volume 3, so maybe that was included in the chapter count

I've just finished reading it...




So the Kessler effect happened, huh? Will the Jupiter crew ever be able to come back as the situation is now?



Definitely one of the best manga I've ever read.

This was a pretty good manga. One of my favourite aspects of this is how realistic it is. Everything from the characters to the science behind the manga is just realistic. Like this could be a documentary instead of a manga from the early 2000's.



On the other hand, I didn't really care for all the characters. Fee and Yuri were awesome but I didn't really care for Hachimaki. But they were good characters and their journey was well done.



7/10

Really good

Some great things here, others not so great...



Fee in particular was an awesome character which an intriguing personality and backstory and I like the philosophical questions scattered throughout but I didn't enjoy anything else in this manga past that.
