I'm not very interested in space and astronomy, but I enjoyed this book a lot! Very clear explanations and some nice drawings here and there.
The Turkish translation has some foreword/background information written by Kerem Cankoçak. That too was well-written. I advise you to not skip it as it contains some very useful info.
I really like the art style, but some parts of the story made me raise a brow. I feel like parts of the story were misogynistic (plus there were other kinds of bigotry here and there). Not sure if it reflects the views of the author or not. I hope it doesn't reflect his views.
I see a ton of potential in the later books in the series though (there's vol. 2, 3, and 4)! Will definitely read them when I get the chance!
And FYI I deleted that one status update
Welp, all 3 volumes of the main manga series and vol. 1 of the Wraith Arc all now have proper entries! Enjoy!
I've watched the anime before, it's one of my favorites. This manga adaptation is also really good! There's a little epilogue, presumably written by Hanokage, the artist of the manga, and I'd like to tell them- in response to it- that they did a really good job with the art!
One thing though, maybe this is just me not knowing how things really work, I read the Turkish translation, and they translated the signs into Turkish without leaving anything from the Japanese original. I think it would've been cooler if they kept the signs in their original form and written the Turkish translation into a separate box, but it was a great translation nonetheless, so shoutout to Tolga Kıray, the translator, as well.
And an additional shoutout to all the people in the Komikşeyler stand in the 2024 Antalya Book Fair, that's where I bought this lol

I haven't been making progress on this book for a long while, and I'm struggling to even finish Taming the Infinite, so I'll stop for now and pick up again after I get out of this reading slump or whatever they call it
