For a manga with almost no action, Saturn Apartments was a riveting read. The artwork was surprisingly detailed at times and Mitsu's journey into discovering his father and his place in the world was an oddly touching tale. I'll be picking up the subsequent volumes. Four out of five stars. Aug 01, Seth T. The most common are stories that use imaginary technologies, alien races, and futuristic promise as a gimmick, a means to wowing audiences with slick bombast in order to distract from narrative deficiencies. The original Star Wars , for all its good points, makes prominent use of this technique. Viewers are confronted with impressive fabrications—TIE fighters, droids, a landspeeder, the Millennium Falcon, the Mos Eisle [Review of volumes 1 and 2. Viewers are confronted with impressive fabrications—TIE fighters, droids, a landspeeder, the Millennium Falcon, the Mos Eisley cantina, and the Death Star—all to the end of camouflaging bad dialogue and weak acting. Certainly we give ourselves over to the film's charms, but Star Wars uses its setting to disguise its weaknesses. Less common are examples that use science fiction as a means to approach social issues from a perspective divorced from a reality that may be overladen with presuppositions and biases. These stories extrapolate worlds that may someday exist in order to speak to present concerns. Gattaca , A Brave New World , Fahrenheit , and each use their setting for the purpose of something more than simply providing an engaging entertainment. Hisae Iwaoka's Saturn Apartments is somewhat enigmatic then in that it seems to fit neither of these categories. While the book does include a number of set pieces that provide fantastic viewscapes notably, some gorgeous illustrations of the earth from outside the book's principal space structure , these have no narrative inadequacies to cover up. And while the book does present a world in which the strict class systems common to some dystopian fiction exert negative influence on its cast, making social statements seems to be the least of Iwaoka's concerns. That may change as the story evolves, but as of the first two volumes, he doesn't seem overly interested in addressing social inequity. Instead, the futurism and social state of Saturn Apartments seems in place wholly to the end of presenting a fully forged world in which Iwaoka's small story can take place. When I say small story that is only to say that this is not a book devoted to national or interspecies struggles. This is not a series about the end of the world in a way, that already happened. This is not the story of good vs. It's just the story of a boy who's just joined the workforce and is trying to come to grips with who he is in the shadow of his father's death five years early. After all, every person is an expansive universe of interests, motives, stories, treacheries, and dreams. And each of these universes is governed by an entirely unique set of forces, every bit as sovereign as gravity and entropy. In Saturn Apartments , the earth, for reasons as yet untreated had been abandoned for decades, existing now as a global nature preserve. Whether due war or pollution or a humanitarian attempt at a Babel-like house to scrape the heavens is, seemingly, apart from the interests of the series. All that matters is that the earth has been abandoned and all the remnant humanity dwells on a great ring encircling the earth in low orbit, pretty much smack in the middle of the stratosphere. While never explicitly referred to within the text as the Saturn Apartments, the ring does make the earth resemble Saturn a bit. Or at least maybe Uranus. The ring itself is divided into three strata, upper, middle, and lower sections. The middle section is devoted to public works such as schools, parks, government, and scientific endeavors. Elites live in the upper reaches of the ring while everyone else is shuffled into the lower division. Saturn Apartments primary narrative conceit I mean, beyond the ring itself is that somebody's got to was all those windows. Dwellings that sit on the epidermis of the ring have windows that look out into the reaches of space everyone else has to content themselves with artificial light and skies and, even in space, a film of dust gradually accumulates. Those with the money to do so, hire window washers to help them keep their perspicuity. As washers require space suits, months of training, and hours to pressurize in order to clean windows, it's rare that anyone from the lower levels have the opportunity to clean their windows; ironically, its these grime-caked windows of the lower levels that face the earth and the spectacular view that such portals could provide. Iwaoka's protagonist is Mitsu, the orphaned son of Aki, a washer who fell to earth in a window-washing accident five years ago. Mitsu has just graduated high school and is accepted into his father's guild, where he encounters all of Aki's old friends and co-workers. Mitsu is both diligent and distracted, the presence of a hard-working father he barely knew weighing heavily on his life and direction. He's a little bit lost, a little bit unformed, and pretty uncertain about his purpose in things. He's eager to find and prove his place within the guild but until he discovers himself for who he is, he'll never be able to confidently chart his own personal destiny. Saturn Apartments charts Mitsu's course through the interpersonal exchanges he experiences with co-workers and clients and then through the friendships he forms as a result. Mitsu's path evolves from one marked by loneliness toward something a bit more rounded with a breadth of human contact. Much of the fun of the series is watching him negotiate these new relationships while he takes cues from those around him in an attempt to understand how normal people interact. He's a great observer and does his best to conscientiously apply the practical knowledge his observations lend him. By having Mitsu looking in on a variety of lives from the outside literally looking in, Iwaoka leaves herself plenty of room to explore numerous story and relationship paths before wearing out her and Mitsu's welcome. One of the charms of Saturn Apartments is its unique visual sense. Iwaoka employs a style of illustration uncommon in, at the least, the manga I've yet encountered. Iwaoka instead essays what I imagine would have to be some sort of indie manga. Her line is confident in its hesitance, a practiced stutter. In many cases, independent creators have more imagination than they have talent; this is decidedly not the case with Iwaoka's work. She creates big-headed people and her men are often distinguishable from her women by fashion alone—all, I suspect, by design. She also frequently employs visual gags to lighten the mood of what could otherwise be a book too sober by half. Saturn Apartments is an exciting book to take part in as its release gradually unfolds. Generally, I prefer to take in a series once its publication is complete therefore eliminating the story-hindering two-to-ten-month wait between volumes , but Saturn Apartments is such a quiet pleasure for me that I'm happy to take it in whatever chunks are available to me.

That's what happens in Saturn apartments. The end. So what makes it so special? And it is truly a tale well told. Mitsu is a young and somewhat innocent kid who lives in a post earth-pocalyptic world. Humans have abandoned the earth in hopes of undoing or ameliorating the damage done, or at least not doing any more, and now they live in a giant three-tiered structure that forms a ring around the earth. And it is here where Mitsu becomes a window washer. And it is Mitsu becomes a window washer. And it is as a window- washer Mitsu begins to learn about the world, and about the complexity of relationships neither friendship nor enmity are simple things, and even power comes with its frustrations and consequences. Moveover, it is in this world, and with a view of the earth, Mitsu's father died, somewhat mysteriously, five years before the action of the novel begins. When Mitsu sees the view his father likely saw the day he disappeared, he is mesmerized by the earth's beauty, and longs to get to its surface some day where he imagines his father to be. This is not necessarily a mystery or an outer-space action-adventure novel. It's a carefully drawn exploration of Mitsu's social and emotional world, and of the futuristic social world as a whole, which is not so different -- a place with intense class stratifications and complex friendships. The consequences of poverty are not exactly as they are on earth those on the bottom of the three tiers are on the low end of the socioeconomic spectrum and the only ones who have a view of the earth, but not if the windows are not regularly cleaned. And hiring people to clean windows take money. Those on the top tier, the wealthy, are the only ones who have enough natural light to keep them from getting sick. Mitsu has friends and enemies and then there are the people who are clearly important but mysterious, too. I look forward to reading more of this series and seeing Mitsu continue on his adventures. I highly recommend this book. Jan 09, Artemy rated it liked it Shelves: manga. Saturn Apartments is set in a world where humanity evacuated the surface of the Earth and now lives in a tube circling around it 35km up in the sky. The story follows Mitsu, a young kid whose father died working as a window washer, cleaning the outside surface of the tube. Mitsu decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become a window washer himself, in process learning more about his dad and his former colleagues and friends, as well as various people living inside the tube. I am normally Saturn Apartments is set in a world where humanity evacuated the surface of the Earth and now lives in a tube circling around it 35km up in the sky. I am normally a fan of slice of life manga, but after one volume Saturn Apartments didn't really click with me. I don't know if the problem is with the translation, the way it's written or drawn or is it just me, but most of the stories collected here just went by without leaving any sort of impression. Most characters seemed a bit flat and their stories weren't that interesting. I did really like the general atmosphere of this soft sci-fi existential mundanity, though — the book feels like a companion piece to much better Planetes in its tone and the way it emphasises individual character perspectives, and the whole setting of this ring hovering above Earth is a very neat idea that just begs to be explored further and in more detail. I just wish it was done with a bit more flair, and the characters were a bit more notable. I'll probably give this series another volume to try and win me over, but for now I'm left a bit disappointed. Do check out Planetes, though.

And I'm not going to lie, this is more babbling than a forward review. Also I'm writing this at 3 am. I am tired. So feel free to ignore this and read something more intelligent. I've read a lot of science fiction. A lot. Even have an entire bookshelf full of Gibson, Haldeman, Heinlein, etc. And yet I don't really consider myself a fan, and I'm always a little cautious about what science fiction books I'll pick up ne Let me tell you guys about the revelation I had while reading Saturn Apartments. And yet I don't really consider myself a fan, and I'm always a little cautious about what science fiction books I'll pick up next. For the longest time I figured there has been something I have been resistant to about the genre, and I thought maybe I just secretly found the genre boring unless sword heaving robot kings or Terminators were involved. But I figured it out while reading Saturn Apartments. Iwaoka has this amazing ability to balance good characters and world building. Each chapter is fully character driven, and the art does a great job of showing us how this world surrounds the characters instead of just leaving it as a back drop for some random adventures. At the same time, the world building never takes precedence over character development. In fact I think there's plenty of comics out there that excel at this, especially manga. But I'm not sure I could say the same about a lot of the prose sci-fi I've been devouring since I was a teenager.

This is perhaps the main problem I see with Hisae Iwaoka's work: same as for other great mangaka, although she seems to easily make us care about the main character, but not for the secondaries. I loved the art of Saturn Apartments the best. There is a quality to it that is unique. The faces have an Asian vibe that I love while the backgrounds are sparse and full in just the right balance. I did quite like Mitsu and his point of view. The story is definitely a slice of life sort of narrative and has a short story sort of vibe due to that. I have to say I am not normally a fan of this type of manga. Yet Saturn Apartments has this charm that is quite personal. Its about the individual inte I loved the art of Saturn Apartments the best. Its about the individual interactions with Mitsu that really touch your heart in a way that I haven't experienced with a slice of life until now. I loved his partner Jin and the story about his wife and then about his friend , the mask girl and her cat especially and want more of them in the future! Also enjoyed how they showed us what happened to his dad! Nov 29, Kirsten rated it it was amazing Shelves: fiction , graphic-novels , children-or-ya , from-library , manga , spec-fic. The art is just beautiful, and I love the whole concept. Humankind has had to leave Earth due to environmental damage, and now lives in a ring at the edge of the atmosphere. Society is very stratified, with the rich having the best views and the most natural light. The poor live on the lower levels and often suffer from immune disorders due to a lack of light. Mitsu's father was a window washer who fell to his death, and now Mitsu is taking his place. We learn more about Mitsu and his Fantastic. We learn more about Mitsu and his world in short vignettes that illustrate the differences between the haves and have nots, and teach more about the society Mitsu lives in.

Unique artwork and a sweet but slow moving story about a young boy who washes the windows of humanity's new home - a gigantic ring-shaped building floating above the earth. An interesting concept with great characters, but a very wandering plot. Again, I just have to applaud Viz for releasing such unique manga under their Signature line. I doubt this series will sell very well.

May 04, Ezra Marcel rated it really liked it Shelves: manga. A really interesting look at the future, class struggles, and what to do when you don't know what to do. The art is gorgeous, though certain action sequences were nearly impossible to follow. All of the characters were dynamic and fun, though I did find the quote-unquote villain to be a little too much of a meaningless stereotype. The protagonist is adorable, though, and relatable, and I definitely plan on picking up the next volume. Jun 24, Kerry rated it really liked it Shelves: science-fiction , manga , releases.

Perhaps that's true, but there are some uncommon genres that haven't really been explored in Western literature. This is one of them, the only book I can compare it to is The Age of Miracles. Like The Age of Miracles , some crazy stuff has happened. The future is kind of shaky, p You always think to yourself, when writing, it's impossible to create a new genre. The future is kind of shaky, people have died, people will die, and we meet a realistic character. This isn't the person who yanks the sword from the stone, or the person with an overwhelming prophecy. No, this character deals in a very realistic manner. Mitsu isn't trying to fix the world. He's trying to repay school dept and works as an outside window washer -- a job as dangerous as crab fishing, because he lives on a ring shaped space station that orbits the Earth. His dad has died washing the lower windows, and now Mitsu wants to visit the Earth, to the place where his dad fell. It's an unrealistic dream, and he knows it. So instead of an epic quest, Mitsu is washing windows and meeting people. Despite the fact that the caste system is limiting and plays a major role in his life, Mitsu isn't fighting it. Instead, he's helping to rescue cats, creating ocean illusions and asking about his dad. Throughout the book, he listens to people and tries to help. Because of his attentive nature, the reader learns the stories behind some of the most ridiculous-seeming tasks. By the time the book is over, it's easy to be in love with not only Mitsu, but practically everyone he affects Oct 23, Kira Nerys rated it really liked it Shelves: read-not-owned , graphic-novels-manga , environmental-protection , science-fiction , orphans , woman- author , poc-author , sf-f-challenge Been a while since I've read a manga. I might keep going with this one--pretty sure they have the whole collection at the library. It didn't feel particularly unique to me, but that came from having seen all the little puzzle pieces of this story in various places before. Juxtaposing the wide-reaching worldbuilding w Been a while since I've read a manga. Juxtaposing the wide-reaching worldbuilding with the specific central group of characters, I felt Lake failed to give either story the weight, reach, and time it needed. I believe I noted in my review there that he needed a whole book, not a short story, to explore that world, and--well, here someone's done that. Plenty of conceptual differences persist, but Iwaoka manages--perhaps through utilizing the comic medium? Everyone proves generally likable, if falling into specific tropes, and the world has a gritty, Blade-Runner-ish feel. With a twist of Japanese culture. I find myself also thinking of the webcomic Alice Grove rough-concept-wise , the anime Sword Art Online for the distinct layering of society--or perhaps that episode of Doctor Who? I've seen images of the Earth from above in manga before, is my point. Yet I do think these elements recombine here into a sweet, feasible, intriguing world. May 22, Wai Lam rated it it was amazing. The story happens in the future, where humans started in live inside a ring that orbits the Earth, because the Earth become a nature preserve. Some people started to have jobs that cleans the window of the ring. The main character of the book, Mitsu, is a high school graduate and started to become one of the "window cleaner. I read this book in Book Club and I enjoyed it. These are the reasons: 1. I think the plot is really interesting and special, because I think the plot is unique, and also is new to me. This makes me wanting to continue reading the book. I think the theme of the book is really meaningful and useful in our life. One theme I found in the book is "Money can't always give you everything you want. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't fight for fairness. There's is multiple symbols in the book, and I found one of the symbols in the book is the most relatable to me. I believe the suits that the characters symbolizes how human always create new technology to make impossible possible. But at the same time, it symbolized that human is depending to much on the technology, and which humans won't be able to survive without them. The author uses the suit to tell people that technology can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad think if we over rely on them. One of the main reason I chose to read this book is because of the illustration style. It is drawn in Japanese Manga style, so I think people that love Japanese Manga should really read this book. In conclusion, I think this is a really good book for all people, especially middle school or high school students, because it's there's isn't many words in this book, and which I think it is perfect for teens. Even though it's a graphic novel, I think there's a lot of message throughout the book. May 23, Emily rated it really liked it. I am a 9th grade student in New York, who read this book for one of my classes. I didn't at first expect to actually enjoy reading this book since it is a graphic novel. If you are looking for a good slice of life and sci fi manga, then this manga is a really great match for it. The author expresses two important themes in this manga that can relate to today's youth. For example, it is okay to go out and try new things in life and that there are always going to be someone looking out for you even I am a 9th grade student in New York, who read this book for one of my classes. For example, it is okay to go out and try new things in life and that there are always going to be someone looking out for you even if you don't realize it. These are important because many young adults end up not feeling special or significant to others, yet they are mistaken about it. What I like about this book is the art style of the characters and the setting. The artist did a really good job creating an unique art style for each characters. In additional, the perseverance of the main character Mitsu is amazing. Mitsu learns from his mistakes and continues to fix and apply his now new knowledge to improve his work and help his co-worker. Yet, there are some things that I don't like about this story is that their is a character who is selfish and treats Mitsu bad only because of his father. He is always targeting Mitsu for everything, even if he hasn't done anything to him. Also, that the drawing layout is a bit confusing. Maybe it is because I usually don't really manga but, I kept reading the story panels the wrong way. The story is takes place in the future where everyone has evacuated Earth to preserve it. Human now exist in a structure that is on the rings of Earth. There is a social class which is divided by floors. The lower floor you are on the lower your class is. Mitsu is the son of a window washer, his dad disappears after one of his mission as a window washer leaving Mitsu alone. Needing work after junior high school, Mitsu takes over his father's job and is treated with care and understanding from everyone. May 22, Karen Wang rated it really liked it.

It shows how the characters are able to get through their struggles and this book kind of have a lot mystery situations. Aug 17, J. April rated it liked it. This was among my first forays into manga, and so far it's not like any others I've read. This is a character-driven story, and could probably be classified as slice-of-life.

Our protagonist is finding his place within that society, having just graduated from school and taken up the same job his father once held, and in doing so he's having some big thoughts about whether he matters in the grander scheme of the world. The phrase that came to mind as I was reading this was, "it's bigger on the inside! We don't see the whole picture, but we get the hint that it's there, its glow peering out through the fissures our protagonist comes across. Know what you're getting when you go into this. If you go in with the right expectations, hopefully you can enjoy this quiet, thoughtful world. Jan 07, Paige rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels-picture-books. I've been searching for a new Manga series to dig into and I got this book at the library on a whim and I'm glad I did. I loved the world building and the idea of while being above Earth there are still these Earth-like issues of stratification and being stuck at a certain level in society.

The isolation of the upper class who all so far live alone in these palatial open rooms with the ability to focus on ideas and concepts. How close everyone is at the bottom is and how they have this camaraderie, but they lack sunlight and it's having this negative impact on their bodies. There were so many good things to think about with this book, yet everything felt very quiet and sparse and all these ideas were built up over time. I definitely want to continue on with this series.

After he graduated he started the job with Jin, and started interacting with each people that commissioned them to clean their windows and learned a lot about their individual stories. Many times Mitsu still doubt himself if everyone was treating him nicely because of his father. As the story goes on it started to show his confidence started to grow. This story mainly focuses on everyone has their own story and little things can connect people together. Readers also enjoyed. Science Fiction. In a weird way, it reminded me of one of my favorite Batman stories, when the grim solo hero let go just enough to allow others to care for him. The publisher provided a review copy.
