I have a feeling whoever thought of Gravity read this manga.

This might not be so far into the future given the latest news...:

A very interesting series, reccomended to all sci-fi fans out there who are looking for a "down-to-earth" approach on space living and it's problems.
@foxy: it's still Tokyo Pop's English language material. That's wh the admins nuked it. If Manga-Sketchbook did new translations from scratch then sure, I could see the the admins letting that stay.
I hate to post a link to there, but fuck it, and tokyopop isn't even going to bother anyone with this anymore
So : http://www.mangareader.net/968/planetes.html

And volume 2 starts on chapter 6

Dang, got taken down... :< *just finished volume 1*
to any mods who want to take this down, Tokyopop doesn't exist anymore (and their old licenses even less so http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-05-24/tokyopop/japanese-manga-licenses-to-revert-to-owners) so removal of this series would just be masturbatory rule-stickling. let this one go, its worth it and nobody in a million years will give a shit
One of da greatest animes
worth a read
