Saturn Apartments #7

Hisae Iwaoka's quietly moving science-fiction manga reaches its seventh volume with a cover that captures its signature blend of wonder and melancholy — a young figure in a spacesuit gazes out from a curved rooftop against a sweeping gradient of deep blue sky and warm orange horizon. It's a beautifully composed image that perfectly encapsulates the series' themes of everyday life lived at the edge of the infinite. Fans of thoughtful, human-scale sci-fi will find this volume a worthy continuation of one of manga's most atmospheric ongoing stories.
