Astro Biologist Pratess

by Sarami

A whole new meaning to “spaced out”.

Nagi, who lives in a faraway village close to the sea, is bored out of her mind and drifts in her last summer holiday before ending high school. One fateful day, she has an out-of-body experience (!) and meets Pratess, a chill cosmic being (!!) from another plane of existence (!!!). Can our mundane reality be exciting from another point of view? It's the beginning of the end for Nagi's and her friends' childhoods, and a fantastic end it shall be.

I feel like I would have enjoyed the story a lot more if it was just a slice of life with our three main characters. All 3 characters are very interesting with a dynamic you don't see a lot in manga. The inclusion of the dream world/other plane of existence stuff just took me out of the story and really did nothing for me which is a shame since it's a huge part of the narrative.

Little disappointed in this book. Been curious about this new manga publisher for a while but nothing stuck out until this book. I like the book design and the art was nice so I wanted to give it a shot. Unfortunately, this comic feels very much like a first draft. In the back, Sarami says they wrote the story on the fly, and you can tell. Nothing about the book lands well- it's ideas all over the place, the plot is non-starter, and the themes are too lofty and have nowhere to go. I wish Sarami did some more editing of their ideas, it quickly devolves from a melancholy love triangle to attempting to understand the nature of the universe in the first time writer way that feels awkward and insincere.

Me gustó sobre todo los dramas personales de cada chiquillo, y el hecho de que intenten entender lo que sienten al respecto. Creo que es una búsqueda que todos realizamos en algún momento. Sin embargo, constantemente sentía que el tema espiritual-espacial sobraba. Además, no siento que al final se resuelva ninguna de las dudas o problemas, realmente.
