Thanks anon!

>>282002478
thanks, OP

>>282002478
Thank you for posting.

>>282002165
I'm still mad at this brat

>>282001738
o fuck

>>282002015
Just nuke them

bump

>>282007726
I propose one more.

>>282002478
>Wars start because of men like him.
>Y'know, men trying to avoid war.

>>282001995
That bottom panel is pretty good

>>282002478
thanks OP

>>282002417
I am glad she acknowledged the elephant in the room. Or rather, the KFC in the bucket?

>>282009684
Sad truth.

Colonel Sanders is a true patriot

>>282001973
>Colonel sanders
Seriously?

>>282006020
Me too. Fee is a shitty mother (even outside the being absent for months at a time thing)

>>282002417
>Hates war
>Hates Kessler syndrome
>Guy comes along offering to help prevent war and kessler syndrome
>Say no, fuck you
What's with people in this manga being retarded?

>>282017110
the point is to be deep and philosophical
and that means refusing to act and to believe in a future you can build with your own hands

>>282017011
yeah really
>my kid has no concept of responsibility and rebels for no reason
>guess i better do the same

>>282006020
It was a stupid chapter and the writer has the mom take the weirdest lesson from it. But ironically, it's solid characterization that the kid is a shitty neighbor, and doesn't train his dogs, and is violent towards his mom.

>>282002478
Gracias OP. Yukimura really loves that line doesn't he.

>>282017328
>self-destructively stubborn
Just like real life!

daily spammer

>>282017888
Somehow it works in the context of the story.

>>282017110
She learned a valuable lesson from her son.
Which is that you should never do anything to better the situation for yourself and everyone else.
It's better to be a complete nuisance than to do anything that feels even a little bit not good.

>>282017328
Man, how did this manga manage to win an award? I really don't get it.

>>282026404
this manga would be so much better if the mangaka had stopped trying to make points that don't land and just focused on the plot.

>>282026404
this guy presents pouting as justice and apparently either people want to believe this is true or he has enough skill in paneling to convince people it's true. seems to have worked for vinland saga too. guy's been at this for 30 years.
i haven't been keeping up every day but it seems to me the story doesn't actually take the world seriously.
>"why are there mines"
well we just had space terrorists about the end space travel indefinitely, that would be a pretty good use
>"there are all kinds of restrictions, people can't just get close to military satellites, those protesters aren't real"
didn't you get close enough to jump off your ship and physically kick one? like 15 pages ago?
like no wonder the world feels unknowable and hopeless, the author has all the characters forget what was established between one chapter and the next

>>282027170
People didn't actually read it. They just skimmed it, admired the nice artwork and superficially acknowledged the 'deep'' themes on display without actually engaging with or thinking about them on any level whatsoever. If they did, they'd quickly realize that everything - the story, the characters, the setting, the 2deep4u themes and morals lessons - are all ultimately nonsensical, self-sabotaging and completely fall apart at even the slightest ounce of scrutiny. It's like what a pretentious highschooler thinks is really deep and insightful (and really subversive, don't forget that).

>>282024932
>>282027170

>... 'cuz, like, ya see... t-t-the orbital mines are just like them collars they use ta' stop the dogs from barking! Like, they're WRONG, dude! We don't even need 'em! Concepts like 'responsibility' and 'compromise' and 'basic common sense' are all just lies we tell ourselves to justify our cruelty to, like, our fellow human beings, bro! Little children are actually wiser for their innocence and ignorance of the harsh adult world, y'know? They're the ultimate rebels, man... and I bet if we could all just be a little more like those purehearted little children in our daily lives, then... um... wait... what the fuck was just I saying?

>>282001973
Kek, I knew it.

>>282001995
Feels like there is some sort of subtle commentary here. Can't quite put my hand on it.

>>282002235
Cute Tanabe in the upper left.

>>282002280
Fee was a brat?

Yukimura has always been like this huh

Chapter 21

This is it for the day spacebros until tomorow

>>282030391
>I hate grownups!

WRITING!

>>282030148
>>282030174
Hehehehe.
Feels funny reading this now.

>>282030214
>"I'm just breaking the law"
>To her mother
>Who is a lawyer
Christ, woman! You're not a teen anymore.

>>282030273
>There's nothing to do in the fucking city
Oh, come on!

>>282030391
What happened to being a married woman?
>>282030408
Thx mate.
Don't know how this storyline will wrap up. I hope realizes how dumb this whole thing is.

>>282030771
Fee did nothing wrong

>>282030408
thanks OP.
i wish this would go back to the Jupiter mission cause this plotline blows

Tanabe>Fee

>>282030249
I am so glad I live in an area with no cicada

What race is Fee supposed to be, anyway?

>>282030297
oof

>>282030026
mom is worried he might be uncle uuooohhh

>>282034581
>Mississippi

>>282034581
i wasn't sure until this chapter but she's definitely black

>>282030739
yeah. I love it

>>282030297
literally me

>>282034581
Ayy

>>282026404
Solid science fiction. Author was still inexperienced, so all his attempts to propagate his retarded ideology comes of as criticism instead of legitimate intent.

>>282039409
>comes of as criticism instead of legitimate intent.
what?

>>282039521
They say they want one thing, but circumstances have them end up doing something else.

Kinda like how the ending of vinland saga proves violence is the correct answer because it gets invaders expelled from your country for hundreds of years, regardless of how the author seethes about it through his characters.

>>282039691
havent read vinland but from what i got the pacifism is something you should strive to be not a realistic alternative

>>282030391
Fee abandoned her son and husband because going back to Earth means going back to those fucking dogs.
Peaceful sleep and gravity are mutually exclusive for her.

>>282039847
I would even accept it as realistic with the correct set of circumstances, after careful negotiation or thorough preparation, but yukimura sees it as the only choice that will solve humanity's problems in the long run, which is ludicrously naive at best.

But fortunately i can still enjoy things done by authors i disagree with.

>>282030739
Yeah. 20 years before fake AI videos.

>>282030408
Thank you for posting, space OP.

>>282028509
Of course she was.

>>282030739
It's gonna feel even funnier in 10 years.

>>282030408
Man I'm really beginning to hate Fee.

bump for anons to read

>>282040157
There's a lot of talented but very naive mangaka writing stories.

>>282030408
thanks op

>>282051006
SPESS

Let's make it.

Chapter 22

This is it for the day spacebros until tomorow

>>282055688
thanks OP

holy shit this got so bad, I wanted sci-fi stuff not racism is le bad

>>282055212
This sure has been dog water

>>282055320
Jesus, just stop being a hippie faggot

>>282050911
Make no mistake, Yukimura is a very talented mangaka. I think Planetes is top notch, even if I don't agree with a lot of its message.

>>282056132
The artstyle had made me skeptical from the start, but I thought the story and writing may be able to make up for it. What a foolish hope that was...
Well, the manga is on the shorter side, and I prefer to see things through to the end when possible, so that's why I'm still sticking around. But I don't think I'll ever read anything else by this mangaka.

>>282055618
But now the spider will starve

>>282056132
Yeah, it started out with a nice second steps to space colonization vibe, but now it's all souls still weighed down by gravity.

Why are you guys so upset? Yukimura is right, racism is BAD

>>282055268
Running will only make you more suspicious.

>>282058233
it is bad but this writing still blows

>>282058233
A healthy dose of racism is good for society. And this isn't even racism for the most part. That part is just compounded on top of everything else as a footnote

bump

Was it in vogue to put a multicultural cast and "racism is bad" in seinen manga in the late 90s-early 00s? Eden did the same thing in a different Kodansha magazine.

>its 2040 something in america and whitey is still fucking over black people
im in the wrong timeline

Maybe if he stopped acting like a weirdo people won't suspect him even with his living style.
Seriously, there was a Nat Geo show about people who live in solitude away from civilization and people didn't then anything wrong with them. Why? Because the times they had to interact with people they acted like normal people.

>>282062827
Funnily enough, today's chapter from the Getter Robo Go (which is from the '90s) daily also had something like that.

>>282063965
>if you have a stutter and you're bad at socializing you deserve to be wrongly accused of a felony
guess we better lock up 2/3 of all /a/posters

>>282058233
It's not even racism. The way he acts will lead people to suspect things regardless of color.
>>282062827
It's not unusual for sci-fi to dabble topics like that. Just look at what the big daddy of manga Tezuka himself used to write.

>>282064748
>guess we better lock up 2/3 of all /a/posters

>>282062827
Racism is BAD, anon!

>>282055688
Thank you for posting, space OP.

>>282060354
>>282065009
Yeah. The police themselves were also very reasonable and made the questions they had to do, since he is either a suspect or possible witness.

>have a cool story about a guy taking a 7 year voyage to a distant planet
>focus on fee and her shitty neurotic family instead
why did yukimura do this?

>>282063965
But racism anon, racism.

>>282055579
She does realise that if her ship blows up she'll become just another piece of debris making it even worse, right?

>>282055486
>>282055672
he just like me fr, etc.

>>282058233
I'm gonna be honest, since a few phrases keep getting repeated in the criticism, I have a hard time not believing it's someone false flagging.

>>282055599
Man, if only this could have been avoided.
But I guess it was inevitable, like dogs barking all night.
Nothing anybody can do about it.

>>282072825
But anon, trying to stop dogs barking is cruel and mean and hurts my feelings :(

bump for anons reading

>>282072825
The funny part is that in the anime the terrorists try to pull off exactly the same thing

You'd think that in the intervening time someone would have come up with a way to mitigate orbital threats without resulting in a massive debris-causing event.

>>282068939
To be fair, guy is going nowhere if the orbit is filled with debris.

>>282001681 (OP)
Describe this manga in one sentence.

>>282079809
Whitey's on the moon

>>282079888
>We act like a buffoon!

>>282080473
"...You got that, you fucking coon?"

bump

>>282063965
And why does he need to stop being a weirdo, if he isn't hurting anyone? Isn't it man's god given right to be as weird as he wants?

Is OP going to storytime Vinland Saga after this?

It's shocking to see how sheltered and naive Yukimura is and how little has it changed when he wrote Vinland Saga.

Chapter 23
we are almost at the end

>>282084126
dont pretend but if anyone wants to do it i would read it
Also give me some ideas for the next storytime

this is it for the day spacebros until tomorow

>>282085518
thanks OP

>>282085518
Thank you for posting, space OP!

Microdebris isn't impossible to collect, this dude should know better

>>282089344
tiny little boxes were the answer all along

>>282089344
you'd have to dragnet all of space between earth and the moon, with big debris you just collect or de-orbit something and that's it. For comparison just low earth orbits are around 1000 times the volume of every ocean on earth.

bump for Sunday readers

>>282092111
>just low earth orbits are around 1000 times the volume of every ocean on earth
I forgot about that.

>>282084799
Ha ha. Space doesn't love you, Hachimaki. You're never coming back.

>>282097702
Nyo...

Man this arc is so lame.

>>282100038
this. where's the hot alien babes?

>>282085277
maybe she'll properly raise her brat now

>>282063965
Yeah, I'm not gonna pretend like being black in the deep south was doing him any favors, but he did himself even fewer favors.

>>282100038
It won't last forever.

>>282100997
Any moment now they'll kick in.

>>282095058
Monday*

>>282084126
>Vinland Saga
I'd never read that on my own but I suppose it could be fun with /a/.

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Damn

>>282111479
So the dog has been surviving on his iwn ever since he was abandoned as a puppy? Impressive.

>>282111606
>dog was a demon all along

>>282111192
>>282111283
>just a scratch after crashing a bike at 140mph with no helmet

Out of all the unbelievable things in the series so far I think this one takes it

This is it for the day spacebros

Now extras

>>282111886
>hairstyles women will never understand

Are you enjoying the series?

>>282111733
Her head isn't even this issue here, with a sliding crash like that her skin should have sloughed off like wet tissue paper, that denim doesn't look strong enough to deal with it

>>282111967
As a first time reader yeah its pretty neat. The characters are fun even when they go into weird multi chapter fugue states. Tanabe a cute

>>282111886
Tanabe best wingwoman.

>>282084706
Why can't people just dump a manga and then dip out when it ends anymore? Why must everything be a chain? There are already enough good manga being storytimed now.

>>282111055
>Dog analogy
>Again

Dogs a SHIT
Cats a GOD

>>282111367
lol just leave it there anyway, what's he gonna do, destroy an already totaled bike? drive away with it?

>>282111390
just leave it on the side of the road

>>282110046
I'll read until the MC dies

>>282111886
Looks like that one guy from Evangelion.

>>282114676
Yeah Guitar bro who has no true love, I see it

>>282111460
where did you come from
where did you go
where did you come from uncle woodhouse

>>282111733
at that speed, a helmet wont help you either.

>>282111967
I'm enjoying it quite a bit. A lot of the sci-fi drama feels believable and relevant as actual problems people will have to overcome as we enter space. I feel like some criticism could be levied against how idealistic he is about how we'll deal with those problems, but I gel with the overall vibe.

Okay, I still don't understand why she refused to work with Colonel Sanders when it came to Kessler Syndrome.
Did he literally just give her the ick and that was enough to not do anything about keeping space habitable?

>>282118742
dont negotiate with pigs

>>282118815
Okay, well now nobody can enter or exit Earth's orbit, so a fat lot of good those "principles" did.

>>282085179
>>282085210
It's like witnessing a cryptid.

>>282085249
No wonder she needed a house husband.

>>282085305
These boys will never be the same.

>>282118880
it is more that she want to make a personal statemant while Bernie wanted a polictical actt

>>282119121
Like a revelation.

>>282118742
It would make her feel bad, and as we all know, fuck everyone else's feelings, what you're feeling is the only thing you should care about.

>>282123335
this but unironically

>>282111911
She looks alright.

>>282123335
this but ironically

>>282118742
Fuck da police
>>282123335
Why should Fee be held to a greater standard than the men causing the destruction?

>>282111733
She caught her fall.

>>282001681 (OP)
Thanks

>>282111967
Deeply. And it's easy to imagine the sort of people who aren't, with their juvenile complaints

>>282111408
>that crash
>fine enough to push that big ass bike
This woman is superhuman
>>282111967
Yes. It's even better than the anime

>>282126692
Because Fee is the perspective character.
We're getting to see all of her actions, getting to see the reasoning behind them, and it's all bullshit.

>>282116632
kek

>>282126692
Because she has an implicit responsibility to help fix things, it's literally her job. Imagine if a firefighter decided to quit firefighting because there were too many arsonists burning down the forests.

>>282129914
My same thoughts weird to read other storytimes and the complains are always the same bad faith shit

Chapter 25

This is it for the day spacebros, tomorow the big finale

>>282136570
I don't think I could deal with the sun being that far away

>>282136826
It really is unfair to leave her alone for 8 years even if it is your dream or whatever, guy should have got married OR gone to Jupiter not both
They are missing out on the best years of their lives together.

>>282137528
thx OP

>>282137528
now that we get back to the interesting space stuff it's already over? what the fuck is this manga

Will do a new thread for the last chapter

>>282140762
seriously, fee is easily the weakest character in the main cast but she gets a whole arc of her own as the climax of the manga

>>282137271
>i have no enemies

>>282137528
Thank you for posting.

>>282136570
>back to the Jupiter mission
Fuck yeah. I'm absolutely jovial about this.

>>282136721
>These will be the first words ever uttered from Jupiter! These words will be immortalized by mankind!

I would abuse this opportunity so hard to say the dumbest shit.

>>282137528

Amazing pages

one bump for readers

>>282136654
I wish this girl was always naked.

>>282136590
Nice.

>>282146337
yes

>>282146337
Funny looking motorcycle.

>>282140762
It's so weird what the focus has been put on. Did the author the space stuff was the boring part?

>>282146264
>You just lost the game.

God fucking damn it.

>>282136826
Wow, what an ass.

>Editors are still there

>>282137528
Oh wow, that went by fast.

The last chapter is almost here.
