One's an apathetic loner, one has his head in the stars...and they have no idea how much they need each other. The coming-of-age buddy comedy manga that became a surprise hit in Japan. Named top shonen series of the year in the Kono Manga Ga Sugoi Japanese industry poll! Kobayashi just can't focus--not on studying, not on work--and the adults in his life think he's in danger of becoming a worthless dropout. Then, one day, a strange new presence arrives in his class: an energetic and naive kid named Uno. Kobayashi saves Uno from getting scammed, and that close encounter launches a new friendship. Uno's definitely a space cadet, but Kobayashi can't help admiring the way he floats through life, and before he knows it, he might start feeling his feet lift off the ground, too... This hilarious and inspiring manga series from debut artist Inuhiko Doronoda was nominated for the 17th Manga Taisho Award and broke 600,000 readers in Japan!

Reviewed by Chrissy SalazarI loved this! It was such a cozy manga with amazing representation of multiple types of neurodivergence and great communication between the characters. If you enjoy space, you'll like this manga even more. I cannot wait for the next volume to come out because I will definitely be continuing in the series.
Reviewed by SanIrgendwie hat mich das ziemlich fasziniert. Kobayashi kommt als schroffer Rowdy rüber, dabei wird er einfach nur immer missverstanden, hat ein paar Probleme in der Kommunikation und kann sich bestimmte Dinge oder Abläufe nicht so einfach merken - weswegen er bei anderen oft aneckt. Als dann Uno als neuer Mitschüler auftaucht, entdeckt er neue Perspektiven. Denn Uno ist etwas besonders - er hat viele alltägliche Probleme, aber seine Schwester hat für ihn einen “Sicherheitsgurt” in Form eines Notizbuches erschaffen. Dort sind verschiedene Situationen beschrieben und wie er damit umgehen kann. Beeindruckt davon übernimmt Kobayashi das auch für sich, um bei seinem Job besser klarzukommen. An sich hört sich der Plot erstmal nicht so weltbewegend oder spannend an, doch die Dynamik des ungleichen Duos und wie sie gemeinsam die Dinge bewältigen, fand ich einfach toll anzugucken und mitzuerleben. Sie sind etwas unbeholfen, aber kommen super gut zusammen aus. Und das Thema Astrologie find ich persönlich ja auch super faszinierend!
