Planetes

A compact, hardcover Brazilian edition collecting the acclaimed manga series Planetes, this 2015 release from Panini Brasil compiles the complete story of a near-future Earth where space debris has become a deadly hazard. Following the crew of a debris-collection vessel, the series grounds its hard sci-fi setting in the quiet, human-scale struggles of workers in a dangerous, unglamorous job. Best known for writer and artist Makoto Yukimura's thoughtful world-building and character work, this edition offers a complete, self-contained reading experience that highlights the series' reputation as a landmark of thoughtful, realistic science fiction.
