The Creator of Vinland Saga Made Another Manga

Before creating Vinland Saga, Makoto Yukimura captivated science fiction manga fans with Planetes. Like its Viking successor, Planetes boasts exceptional manga art that rivals the best seinen works, appealing to fans of Interstellar, Gravity, and The Martian. The story follows astronaut Hachirota Hoshino, who dreams of deep space exploration but is stuck cleaning space debris around Earth. He realizes that if the space junk isn’t controlled, leaving Earth will be impossible. The manga features stunning space visuals that depict a gripping yet mundane tale. Planetes presents a powerful environmental message, reminding us that the unseen threats, like space debris and ocean plastic, can ultimately determine our fate if ignored.

Planetes is such a vibe. The anime is a little strange when compared to the manga but both a really good!
