2，5 ⭐️Ik vind het heel spijtig dat deze serie me niet zo ligt。。。 Ik vind het verhaal om een of andere reden heel verwarrend。。。

It was okay， but I felt like there was a lot of random stuff that never really amounted to much of a story。 The ending was mostly meaningless， in which a character came to a banal， commonplace conclusion。 I'm not sure if the series is ongoing or not， but if not there are several plot threads that do not get resolved。 Yeah， that's how life *actually* is， but is that why we read fiction？ It was okay， but I felt like there was a lot of random stuff that never really amounted to much of a story。 The ending was mostly meaningless， in which a character came to a banal， commonplace conclusion。 I'm not sure if the series is ongoing or not， but if not there are several plot threads that do not get resolved。 Yeah， that's how life *actually* is， but is that why we read fiction？ 。。。more

Series Info/Source: This is the second omnibus volume in the Planetes series， there are two volumes in this omnibus series。 I received this volume as a birthday gift。Story （5/5）: This continues to be a very “day in the life type of” story mainly focused on Hachimaki and Tanabe。 We get to see Hachimaki realize his dream of going to Jupiter。 We also find out a lot about Tanabe’s history and watch her realize her dream to work in space。 We also get to spend time with Fee and other characters。 The s Series Info/Source: This is the second omnibus volume in the Planetes series， there are two volumes in this omnibus series。 I received this volume as a birthday gift。Story （5/5）: This continues to be a very “day in the life type of” story mainly focused on Hachimaki and Tanabe。 We get to see Hachimaki realize his dream of going to Jupiter。 We also find out a lot about Tanabe’s history and watch her realize her dream to work in space。 We also get to spend time with Fee and other characters。 The story was very well done and much more mature than the beginning of the previous omnibus。 I really enjoyed it。 Characters （5/5）: As mentioned above the story focuses on Tanabe and Hachimaki。 We start out learning a lot about Tanabe’s childhood and then get to watch as her and Hachimaki start to form a relationship。 We also get to spend quite a bit of time with Fee and her family， which was highly entertaining。 I absolutely loved the characters in here， they are so well done and have so much depth。Setting （5/5）: I love the space setting here。 This is a fully realized world where living and working in space is just a day to day part of human life。 It is complex and beautifully designed and I really loved it！Writing/Drawing Style （5/5）: You can really see how Yukimura has grown as both an artist and a writer over the course of this series。 The drawings are much more detailed and polished in this volume。 The story seems much more cohesive and well put together。 I really enjoyed it all a ton。My Summary （5/5）: Overall this was an amazing continuation and conclusion to the Planetes Omnibus series。 This is a very “day in the life” type of manga series but set in the extraordinary setting of space。 Illustration and writing were both incredibly well done。 I enjoyed the amazing world-building and the characters who had a lot of depth and were easy to relate to。 I would definitely recommend it if you are interested in sci-fi manga or a fan of Vinland Saga。 。。。more

A space sci-fi flavoured with existentialism， some real-world problems and a lot of well-placed humor， what a fantastic manga！

One of the definitive space exploration pieces of media/art I’ve come across。 The story of a group of space debris collectors expands and encompasses a vast array of human emotion and experience in the setting of space。 Reminded me alot of the genius Cowboy Bebop， minus the action。 Aces on the characterization and character growth across the board。 Huge fan。

Fantastic continuation/conclusion to the series。 I love the existential questions， the pondering and space gazing in this series。 Maturation of characters in this second omnibus， less high jinks and angst， and more meaningful conversations。 The art is superb。

Strange ending， I don't remember the anime being as anti-climactic as the manga。 What is the deal with Tanabe's reply to Fee in the concluding pages of the the book， about why she married Hachi？ Maybe I missed something。However， I still think this is an incredible manga and one that I would recommend to any Western reader who is completely new to manga， it's extremely accessible and a fascinating hard sci-fi tale。 Strong "love is the truth" message， some cool anti-war themes， and I love how the Strange ending， I don't remember the anime being as anti-climactic as the manga。 What is the deal with Tanabe's reply to Fee in the concluding pages of the the book， about why she married Hachi？ Maybe I missed something。However， I still think this is an incredible manga and one that I would recommend to any Western reader who is completely new to manga， it's extremely accessible and a fascinating hard sci-fi tale。 Strong "love is the truth" message， some cool anti-war themes， and I love how the characters' backstories are filled in right at a pivotal moment in the story。 All the characters have interesting backstories， motivations for becoming debris collectors and being dedicated to their work， no matter how demeaning and trivial it may seem to others。 。。。more

Whilst this second half of the story in volumes 3 & 4 weren't up to the high standards of the first two， it was still full of engaging storylines and themes， and the humour was still on show to bring some ease to the more heavier sequences。 A story like this has the ability to be felt and seen differently on a second reading， as what happened for me with the first Omnibus。 Whilst this second half of the story in volumes 3 & 4 weren't up to the high standards of the first two， it was still full of engaging storylines and themes， and the humour was still on show to bring some ease to the more heavier sequences。 A story like this has the ability to be felt and seen differently on a second reading， as what happened for me with the first Omnibus。 。。。more

Every bit as good as the first volume。 Planetes is a very special series。 It doesn’t tell a linear story with a beginning， middle， and end， but rather pieces together snapshots of characters lives。 The storytelling in this regard is excellent and rather unique。 To be sure， this is a book concerned with storytelling craft， characters， and ideas more than plot。 That might be a turn off for some people， but I love Planetes for its boldness and contemplative approach。 In this volume， Yukimura touche Every bit as good as the first volume。 Planetes is a very special series。 It doesn’t tell a linear story with a beginning， middle， and end， but rather pieces together snapshots of characters lives。 The storytelling in this regard is excellent and rather unique。 To be sure， this is a book concerned with storytelling craft， characters， and ideas more than plot。 That might be a turn off for some people， but I love Planetes for its boldness and contemplative approach。 In this volume， Yukimura touches on themes of family， scientific progress， sacrifice， and love; in other words， nothing less than the human condition。The art is gorgeous， the writing beautiful （and often funny）。 I love this series， and will certainly be reading it again。 Top tier comics right here。 。。。more

Great conclusion to the series。 What does it mean to be human？ What is the meaning of life？ All explored but not answered， cause no one can answer them for any one other than thier own self。Jupiter was beautifully drawn as was space itself。

The second omnibus concludes the Planetes saga， and it's just as fantastic as the first one。 At first， this series may leave an impression of a more comedic and humorous one， but it's actually much more concerned with philosophical and existential themes like our place in the world as a species， human worth， the humanity's constant push for progress and exploration against all odds and the great， all-conquering power of love。 Come to think of it， Planetes is very similar to Chris Nolan's movie I The second omnibus concludes the Planetes saga， and it's just as fantastic as the first one。 At first， this series may leave an impression of a more comedic and humorous one， but it's actually much more concerned with philosophical and existential themes like our place in the world as a species， human worth， the humanity's constant push for progress and exploration against all odds and the great， all-conquering power of love。 Come to think of it， Planetes is very similar to Chris Nolan's movie Interstellar， though it predates the film by a decade and explores almost all the same themes in a much more thoughtful and meaningful way。 Makoto Yukimura's storytelling is wonderfully poetic and subtle， and his artwork is luscious and absolutely stunning。 Overall， it's an incredibly moving series and one of the best mangas I have ever read。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

I actually really enjoyed this volume。 It looked more into the past of the captain of the debris collector ship， Fee and what her life at home was like。 I was semi disappointing to find that we weren't going to be fallowing Hachimaki more closely on his Jupiter mission or his new found relationship。 But fallowing Fee and the other crew members in their rebellion against the government in the space war was very interesting。 I don't know when the story will be continued but when it is I am excited I actually really enjoyed this volume。 It looked more into the past of the captain of the debris collector ship， Fee and what her life at home was like。 I was semi disappointing to find that we weren't going to be fallowing Hachimaki more closely on his Jupiter mission or his new found relationship。 But fallowing Fee and the other crew members in their rebellion against the government in the space war was very interesting。 I don't know when the story will be continued but when it is I am excited to see what is going to happen。 。。。more

This was a really good read。 It's great sci-fi， but I think what I liked， even more， was the commentary on life and the human condition。 I wish it had been longer。 I can't help but wonder if the story was cut short for some reason because the last volume felt like an abrupt wrap-up of the storyline。 Still， what's there is a 5-star story。（view spoiler）[I would have liked to have read about the return trip and more about Hachimaki and Tanabe's relationship when he got back， especially after that l This was a really good read。 It's great sci-fi， but I think what I liked， even more， was the commentary on life and the human condition。 I wish it had been longer。 I can't help but wonder if the story was cut short for some reason because the last volume felt like an abrupt wrap-up of the storyline。 Still， what's there is a 5-star story。（view spoiler）[I would have liked to have read about the return trip and more about Hachimaki and Tanabe's relationship when he got back， especially after that last conversation with Fee and Tanabe。 It felt real and it was interesting。 Plus， I felt like a little more attention could have been given to what role Fee and Yuri played in trying to stop the space war。 I wasn't really clear on what they were doing in the panels that showed them out there。 It seemed like they were using their ship's empty cargo hold to try to catch debris but every time their ship was hit， it was just creating more debris。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

Visually still very cool， great second half of the story。 did a very good job of flushing out characters from the first half， and a pretty solid conclusion， that by no。means stops the story universe from existing。 May have to watch the anime。

Reread the first two/thirds to reacquaint myself with everything。 It was quite good。 I should and will reread the two volumes again and soon。

Planetes is an amazing， philosophically charged manga。 It probed so many emotions and thoughts I was moved to read it。 I'm glad I read it， I was thinking of simply passing it because I watched the anime series， but the manga goes way beyond the anime series。 Planetes is an amazing， philosophically charged manga。 It probed so many emotions and thoughts I was moved to read it。 I'm glad I read it， I was thinking of simply passing it because I watched the anime series， but the manga goes way beyond the anime series。 。。。more

Planetes 2The continuation， nice to have a background story for Fee and Tanabe， Hachimaki’s training for the Jupiter travel。 Although the end is great， he does get to Jupiter， it felt kind of we are left in the middle of the story。 All around a very enjoyable sci-fi manga with great characters。4。5 stars

Zawsze porusza mnie podróż na ostateczną granicę。 Tutaj poza prawdziwymi postaciami i ich relacjami dostajemy świetne sci-fi w doskonałej kresce。 Szkoda， że to już koniec。

This manga is extraoridinary。 The art is beautiful， drawings of space make you gaw in awe。。。 but whats most important in it are characters， their backstories， their motivations。 Story told by Yukimura creates so many emotions。。。 Perfect masterpiece。

following from the first volume， we rejoin Hachimaki， Tanabe， and Fee。 more great character moments， and more philosophical stuff about what drives man to explore space and how it affects the relationships with those they leave behind。I want to praise the facial art in this book so much。 the subtleties are incredible。 I've never seen someone's face crumple in graphic format this way。 the pages 382-385 are a great example of this （a scene with Fee and her uncle）。 so powerful; blew me away and it following from the first volume， we rejoin Hachimaki， Tanabe， and Fee。 more great character moments， and more philosophical stuff about what drives man to explore space and how it affects the relationships with those they leave behind。I want to praise the facial art in this book so much。 the subtleties are incredible。 I've never seen someone's face crumple in graphic format this way。 the pages 382-385 are a great example of this （a scene with Fee and her uncle）。 so powerful; blew me away and it was all the character art。 。。。more

Top shelf。 A story not about love or winning， but the human condition。 No villain twirling a mustachio， no damsel in distress， no knight in shining armor （spaceship）。 Also， a good intro to manga to the uninitiated: the style of asides and many of the other little things going on in the background of the images。 One drawback: I think it might have lost something in the translation。 The societal norms and societal history of Japan is so very different。 As close/good as a translation can be， it is Top shelf。 A story not about love or winning， but the human condition。 No villain twirling a mustachio， no damsel in distress， no knight in shining armor （spaceship）。 Also， a good intro to manga to the uninitiated: the style of asides and many of the other little things going on in the background of the images。 One drawback: I think it might have lost something in the translation。 The societal norms and societal history of Japan is so very different。 As close/good as a translation can be， it is never 100% true。That being said， it is great。 Good enough to read again。 。。。more

Lots to unpack here！ Had a quiet ending， but some great chapters and I even laughed a couple times。 I really appreciate the diversity of Yukimura's characters， also。 He puts more women into his science-fiction than anyone else I've seen （so far）。 Lots to unpack here！ Had a quiet ending， but some great chapters and I even laughed a couple times。 I really appreciate the diversity of Yukimura's characters， also。 He puts more women into his science-fiction than anyone else I've seen （so far）。 。。。more

this was good but not great。。。Volume 1 is definitely much better in terms of story and character progression。i think the anime does a better job creating tension and drama。。。 OH and the action！ but that's not really fair？still happy for this though。 this was good but not great。。。Volume 1 is definitely much better in terms of story and character progression。i think the anime does a better job creating tension and drama。。。 OH and the action！ but that's not really fair？still happy for this though。 。。。more
